Overview

A tourist route to The Tower, passing Battersea Power Station, Tate Britain, The Houses of Parliament, The London Eye, Southbank Centre, Tate Modern, Borough Market, Tower Bridge and The Tower. This walk is longer than most of our short walks, but there are many opportunities to drop off - just tell the leader or backmarker.

** THIS WALK DESCRIPTION WAS MODIFIED ON 15 SEPT TO CHANGE THE START POINT.

The leader is Pankaj, 07769 535085. His young assistant Vini will act as backmarker.
