Overview

Beginning at Kings Cross station the walk  passes through Coal Drops Yard and along the Grand Union canal going east towards Angel Islington. The walk joins the new Green Link Walk for a short time before meandering through the city past some of its historic buildings and hidden parks including Bunhill cemetery and Post Mans Park. Finally the walk goes through the Barbican, past St Pauls cathedral and over the Millennium bridge to walk along the River Thames to London Bridge.

We will stop for lunch in one of the parks, there will be shops nearby to buy snacks and drinks but please bring a packed lunch.

For anyone who would like a post walk drink, there are lots of bars, cafes and restaurants at London Bridge.
