London Summer Walk

Get active and explore some of the Capital's historic areas with a tour of the 'gateway to London' along the Thame's eastern section.

Starting alongside the Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks this 25 km looped route heads through Charlton. Then along the Thames Path around the Greenwich Peninsula. You'll go past the O2, Old Royal Naval College and the famous Cutty Sark. 

The route is steeped in history with iconic sights. At the finish there will be a BBQ and a bar to finish - making for a wonderful end to the summer!
