North Greenwich (O2) to London Bridge

A linear walk along the Thames Path from North Greenwich to London Bridge via Greenwich, Deptford, Surrey Quays, Rotherhithe and Bermondsey.

This is a surprisingly scenic urban walk. We pass through modern developments and historic docks, with constant views of the river in offering. The path is more or less entirely flat, on paved paths, cobbles, and tarmac.

In Greenwich, we pass by the Cutty Sark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutty_Sark); Surrey Quays brings up Greenland Dock - one of London's oldest enclosed docks. In Rotherhithe we have The Brunel Museum & Thames Tunnel - (The first tunnel ever built under a navigable river, engineered by Marc and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The shaft is now the entrance to the Brunel Museum).

St. Mary's Churchyard is close to The Brunel Museum. This is where the pirate Captain Christopher Jones (Captain of the Mayflower) is buried. The Churchyard is opposite the Mayflower Pub which backs onto the River.

The path from here takes us past The Salter Family Statues (https://livinglondonhistory.com/dr-salters-daydream-a-very-moving-set-of-statues/) with fantastic views of Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and the City of London skyline.

We follow the path under Tower Bridge to arrive at Hay's Galleria, a beautiful covered wharf with cafes and exit here to end the walk at London Bridge Stations.

Exit points - Several.

Please bring a packed lunch.

We will be walking at a brisk pace.

No dogs.
