The Romero Way: A London Pilgrimage from Southwark to Westminster

HUGE APOLOGIES, IT FEELS LIKE THIS PROJECT IS CURSED! I HAD TO CANCEL MY FIRST WALK DUE TO MY MOTHER'S HEALTH, NOW IT'S MY TURN. I'VE BEEN IN BED WITH 'FLU ALL WEEK BUT HAD HOPED TO HAVE RECOVERED BY TOMORROW, UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE SO, RATHER THAN CANCEL COMPLETELY, I'M REARRANGING FOR SATURDAY 13 JUNE.
Or rather, a tale of five cathedrals, an abbey and a walk along the Thames Path. Technically, The Romero Way is just a 2km (1.3 mile) stroll from the UK's national shrine to El Salvador's St Oscar Romero in the Roman Catholic St George's Cathedral to Southwark Cathedral but that would leave us kicking our heels and wanting more so, utilising the Thames Path, we'll be linking Southwark Cathedral with St Paul's Cathedral, the Ukranian Cathedral of the Holy Family and finally Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. In keeping with the Latin American vibe, we'll meet at Elephant and Castle underground station, the heart of London's 'Latin Quarter'.

This a relativelty gentle route (11km/7 miles) so there'll be scope to visit each cathedral (though most charge and entrance fee), for deviations to visit other places of worship (I'm open to suggestions) and plenty of opportunities to discuss London's religious heritage and history and global connections. On a personal level, having spent a good deal of time in El Salvador studying liberation theology, it's a chance to get to know more about Romero and Central America.
