Overview

This is a circular walk from Tower Hill (Tower of London), taking in all the sights! We'll stop briefly at the beach, have some great water-side walking and views from every angle, see some very nice boats, and visit two city farms and their various hairy and fluffy inhabitants.

Please bring a packed lunch. There might be food stalls at the lunch stop, but this is not guaranteed as there will also be preparations happening for The Big Half which takes place on Sunday 3rd. Pub at the end. Terrain will be pavement, unmade path, sand, mud and steps.

Please use TFL Journey Planner to get to the start on time, and please check your route in advance (some bits of some tube lines will be closed that day, and there is a rail strike - see National Rail website for details).
