We are the London Strollers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
An easy 6-mile linear walk alongside the Thames as it widens out and becomes very much a working river with industrial settings. We might see Thames pilots guiding tankers into their berths or the occasional ro-ro or cruise ship passing by. The path is occasionally broken up by metal stairways so some stair climbing and caution will be required. No refreshments available before Grays so please bring a snack and water. No seating before Promenade Gardens at Grays. Toilets at Grays station where we finish. Should finish by about 15.30.
!!! No booking required, just turn up.
