Putney to Battersea via Chelsea Harbour, 6.5 miles

We will meet at the Putney Bridge tube station.

• From there we will cross Putney Bridge and walk by the riverside towards Wandsworth.
• We will then cross the Wandsworth bridge and make our way via Chelsea Harbour and Lots Road power station to arrive at Cremorne Gardens. This is here we're going to have our lunch break , so please bring a packed lunch.
• We will then cross the Albert bridge (pictured above) and arrive at Battersea park. We will see the Peace Pagoda, the festival gardens and the tropic gardens.
• We will then arrive at the Battersea Power station complex and finish our walk by the new northern line extension. Duration at a leisurely pace between 2.5-3 hours, depending on the group's size and structure. Amazing photo-opps.

Optional drinks after the walk.

Packed lunch
Comfortable footwear

Photo-taking gadgets and chargers
An umbrella just in case (it's London after all)

Trivium: The Battersea area in Anglo-saxon times was a marshland. People have developed techniques to drain the water and it turned into a very fertile agricultural area. At some point it was a source of 1/5th of all fruit and vegetables produced in Britain. The most successful crop was the asparagus spears, at that time known as the 'Battersea bundles'.

'No Show' Policy: If the member replied 'yes' but did not attend the event, did not update the RSVP and did not inform the organisers on 3 occasions – this triggers an automatic removal from the group. That's once for events with a waiting list.
