Putney to Hammersmith urban hike, 3 miles
Details
- We will meet at the Putney Bridge tube station. From there a short walk to see the All Saints church and nearby almhouses.
- All Saints church was the location of the 1976 movie The Omen starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. From there we will explore the Walled Gardens (pictured above), Fulham Palace and Bishop's Park.
- Fulham Palace is a Grade I listed building with medieval origins and was formerly the principal residence of the Bishop of London. The site was the country home of the bishops from at least the 11th century until 1973. We have 14 tickets booked for the museum (free entry) at 12:20 so we should aim to get there on time.
- Then we will cross Putney Bridge and will walk along the Thames Path towards the Hammersmith Bridge where the walk ends. The path is uneven at some sections so please wear comfortable footwear. Optional drinks/lunch at the local Spoons after the walk.
Hammersmith tube station is 5 mins walk from there.
What to bring:
Comfortable footwear
Water
Photo-taking gadgets and chargers
An umbrella just in case (it's London after all)
