A 20s and 30s Ramblers group.
Today’s walk starts at Bond Street, which is located between the heart of Mayfair and Oxford Street, where we’ll start by make our way towards Hyde Park via Grosvenor Square before heading to the Italian Gardens. Here, we’ll loop around The Serpentine before continue south through Hyde Park towards the Wellington Arch, which we’ll walk through Green Park towards Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Park. At this point, we’ll pass the Queen Victoria Memorial to enter St. James’s Park, which we’ll walk through it and past the lake towards Parliament Square for our lunch stop.
After lunch, we’ll cross over the River Thames on Westminster Bridge before passing the London Eye to walk along the Southbank. This will take us past many historic landmarks as well as bustling riverfront, taking in the architecture and the lively energy of the Thames riverside. This part of the walk also combines the energy of the city with the weight of history and offers a stunning end to it through some of London’s most beautiful and iconic spots. We’ll be finishing the walk by crossing Tower Bridge and around the Tower of London to our finishing point at Tower Hill Tube station.
As this walk’s fully on paved paths and pavements, it’s recommended that you wear comfortable footwear to fully enjoy this walk. For those who want a pint at the end of the walk, we’ll be stopping at The Minories, which is a short walk from Tower Hill Tube station.

DRIVING:
Whilst there's some parking around Oxford Street, the cost of ULEZ makes it expensive to drive and park in London, so it's strongly recommended that you don't drive into Central London. Alternatively, you can park at the car park on the north side of Reading station, where parking fees apply.
Meet at the Davies Street entrance.
