We are the West Kent Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A gentle festive walk through London's beautiful Xmas lights. Mud and stile free! Taking in New Bond, Oxford, Regents, Carnaby Streets, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Sq.
We will start from London Bridge station for part 1 - a walk along the river and a stop around 3.30-4pm at the St James Cafe in St James Park (public toilets nearby - these have a small charge). Then part 2 - head off in the dark for a tour of the main lights of central London, ending at Trafalgar Square.
I am assuming a slow walking pace to allow for photo taking, road crossings and crowds.

Drinks at the end at the Ship and Shovel at Craven Passage or (if that's too full) the Theodore Bullfrog at John Adam St. Both are near Charing X station. Make own arrangements for food before and after (lots of options in Central London - possibly overpriced).
If you would like to be added to a whatsapp group in case we lose anyone, please let me know. I can also use the group to circulate a map.
Meet outside Costa Coffee - upper concourse. If entering via lower concourse or tube, use the escalators or lifts near the main ticket hall to go up. Look for signs to Platforms 10–15. Once on the upper level, Costa is near the retail area, close to the escalators and opposite some seating zones. It’s positioned near the entrances to the Southern platforms.
