We are the North East London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

There is a limit of 15 people for this walk so booking is essential. Please book after 21 December, using the email contact link to do so.
Meet at Bench by 10.45 at the very latest, thogh most people arrive earlier. After coffee, at 11.00, we will have an optional meandering walk, visiting small parks and open spaces along the way. There is a drop-out at Barbican Tube Station. We reventually reach the gardens at St Paul's Cathedral, after 23/4 miles, where we will probably have our picnics. The Tube station and pay toilets are nearby. We then follow the Thames, with drop-out options near Cannon Street, Bank and Monument stations. At the Tower of London (31/2 miles) there are more pay toilets, with the Tube and DLR stations beyond.
Bring a picnic if you plan to walk beyond the Barbican.
