London Bridge to Tower of London vis Southwark, 4 miles

We will meet outside the London Bridge tube station in Tooley Street (meeting point pictured below).

• At the start of our walk we will pass by the Church of England Southwark Cathedral, which retains the basic form of the Gothic structure built between 1220 and 1420.

• We will then proceed 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 then carry on to walk by the Borough Market, which is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London.

• We will then proceed to see the George Inn, an authentic 17th-century coaching inn and pub with oak beams and large courtyard seating area.

• We will then continue to Tanner Street park to see the Stone carvers memorial.

• Then via Tooley Street to see the Hay's Galleria, which is a mixed use building featuring offices, restaurants, shops, and flats. Originally a warehouse and associated wharf (Hay's Wharf) for the port of London, it was redeveloped in the 1980s. It is a Grade II listed structure.

• We will then carry on by the riverside to cross the Tower bridge and arrive at the Tower Hill station, this is where the walk ends. There is also an otion of DLR from nearby Tower Gateway station.

Optional drinks/lunch at the local spoons after the walk.
