Overview

Set out on a journey along the Thames, following the path of the legendary diarist, Samuel Pepys.  Starting from the historic London Bridge, stroll through areas rich in maritime heritage like Rotherhithe (used to be called Redriff), and Deptford, before concluding in the regal setting of Greenwich.  Experience a fusion of the 1660s London tales and the vibrant pulse of today's city, bridging centuries with each step. 

Lunch:  At the end of the walk - plenty of eateries in Greenwich.

Train:  London Bridge station (Zone 1) is served by Jubilee and Northern Lines and Nat Rail.  Return from Greenwich DLR (Zone 2/3) or short walk to Greenwich Nat Rail.
