[This is our shortest walk, especially for those that haven't walked much recently or need a start]

✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a paced walk (and not a stroll), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose.

➡️ Covers: Vauxhall -> Riverside Walk -> Battersea Power Station -> Battersea Park (option: stay for lunch/coffee at Power Station) -> Vauxhall Station.

🍛 You could go for lunch / coffee in the new Battersea Power Station development area if you wish - towards the end of the walk.

🔄 Starts/End Vauxhall Station

📍 Meeting Point: Outside Vauxhall Station (Main Entrance / Opposite bus stations). Meet from 11:15am*, we start our walk at 11:31am insh'Allah

[* We are doing a 5k running event just before this walk so will not be able to respond during that time]

🚻 Toilets available in the Park.
🎒 What to bring: appropriate clothing/shoes, water bottle, snacks to keep you going.

🗂️ "No shows" for previous events may be moved to the waitlist/not going to prioritise reliable attendees / new joiners - when there is a waiting list, priority is given by attendance records / new joiners.

ℹ️ Exploring the Thames Industrial Past:

The walk, which follows the Thames Path heading west toward Battersea, passes:

▪️Battersea Power Station - built in 1933 to provide London's electricity. It is currently going through a huge redevelopment and repurposing for offices, shops and residences together with new surrounding developments and transport links.

▪️Battersea Park - opened by Queen Victoria in 1858

▪️Tideway Village - a floating community of houseboats (if path is open)

▪️Albert Bridge - built in 1873. The only bridge in London to still have its tollbooths at either end (though not in use now!).

▪️The Couper Collection - the oldest barges remaining on the Thames
