Waterloo to London Bridge via Leeke Street Arches, 4 miles


Details
- We will meet outside the main entrance of Waterloo Rail station, bottom of the main staircase (pictured below) and will begin with a short walk to Leeke Street Arches (pictureed above). Great photo-ops with street artwork changing daily.
- We will then proceed via South Bank and pass through the Tate Modern to explore the art installations in the Turbine Room.
- We will then proceed to cross the Millennium bridge to see the Queenhithe Mosaic, the 30m long timeline depicting the history of London.
- We will then cross over at Southwark bridge back to South Bank to see the The Golden Hinde (launched 1973), which is a full-size replica of the Golden Hind (launched 1577). Like the original ship, she has circumnavigated the globe.
- We will and end our walk at London Bridge.
- Options include either exploring the historic Borough Market, or a visit to the George Inn, an authentic 17th-century coaching inn and pub with oak beams and large courtyard seating area.
People who decide to get food from the market can always join us later in the pub.
