Overview

Meet at Liverpool Street Station under clock in main concourse.

Linear walk starting from Westminster Tube Station (Circle Line Liverpool Street to Westminster) to walk through Parliament Square to Horse Guards Parade, St James' Park, Buckingham Palace into Green Park then across Hyde Park to see the Serpentine, Diana Memorial, Albert Memorial then along Kensington High Street to Holland Park to see Japanese Gardens. 

Return to Liverpool St from Holland Park Tube. 

Food/Drink available at Hamilton Hall Pub (Wetherspoons). There are plenty of paces to purchase food en route but it is recommended to bring snack and something to drink.

For those driving Gallows Corner is closed so Newbury Park is out. Upminster is best option for tube system.

For those getting the train get the 9.00 Col to LS arriving 9.47 (get in last carriage). Currently Greater Anglia has a 'Hare Fare' offer that gives a return cost of £23. 

See https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/harefares.  This offer closes on 19th March for travel by 22nd April.

Please let Walk Leader know asap if you wish to go.
