This riverside walk from Putney to Westminster traces the Thames’s renewal through the lens of the Tideway tunnel project - London’s largest environmental project in recent times, designed to clean up the Thames by intercepting sewage overflows from the city’s Victorian drains.
On this walk we’ll discover new public spaces, clever engineering, striking artworks and sweeping views. We'll follow the Thames Path including a few new sections created by the Tideway project.
