*** ☕🚶‍♂️ Battersea Riverside Stroll & Coffee → DoubleTree Bar 🍸 Join us for an easy, scenic stroll through one of London’s most transformed riverside neighbourhoods. 🌆 We’ll start right outside Battersea Power Station station and head through the Power Station development itself — taking in the striking architecture, Electric Boulevard and the riverfront. ⚡🌊 Early on we’ll pause for a coffee (plenty of great options on site such as Black Sheep Coffee, WatchHouse or similar — your choice) so everyone can grab a drink and chat before continuing. ☕💬 From there we follow the Thames Path westwards with lovely river views, passing the edge of Battersea Park and heading towards Chelsea Harbour and Imperial Wharf. 🏞️ The route is almost entirely flat, on good paths, and covers a comfortable distance that fits neatly into 90 minutes including the break. 👟 We finish at the DoubleTree hotel bar in Chelsea — the perfect place to sit down, order a drink and unwind. 🥂 **What to bring** Comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate layers, and a small amount of cash/card for coffee (and anything at the bar afterwards). The walk is suitable for most fitness levels and is entirely on paved paths. ☀️🌧️ See you outside the station! 👋 * Meet outside Battersea Power Station station → coffee stop → finish at the DoubleTree by Hilton London – Chelsea bar ✨ * **Duration:** 1.5 hours (including a relaxed coffee break) ⏱️ * **Meeting point:** Outside the main entrance of Battersea Power Station Underground station (Northern line). Look for the group just beyond the station doors. 📍 * **Finish:** DoubleTree by Hilton London – Chelsea bar (Imperial Road / Imperial Wharf, SW6 2GA) 🏨 **Instagram**: [https://www.instagram.com/zensocietyofexplorers/](https://www.instagram.com/zensocietyofexplorers/) **⚠️ For anyone having trouble RSVPing to our events using the App, you need to uninstall it and use the website instead.
