Blackheath Society Walk & Talk: Bazalgette Embankment
About this Event
BAZALGETTE EMBANKMENT WALK
Join us for a “sunny” walk along the Thames Embankment led by Society member John Causer.
We will meet at Charing Cross railway station, underneath the clock of dubious reputation, above the ticket machines, at 10:15; then walk along the river-edge path passing various sights with a light sprinkling of commentary.
There are coffee and loos opportunities at Millennium Bridge, where we can choose between a brief foray inland for “Flowering Fred’s Garden” or we can carry straight on along the Thames, round the new Queenhithe path.
The routes join for the not-so-secret tunnel at Steelyard Passage, then continue east towards the Tower past Old Billingsgate and Custom House to another viewing platform at Sugar Quay, before re-crossing Lower Thames Street and returning to Cannon Street.
The full route is just over 3 miles and at an easy pace takes (including coffee break) about 2 to 3 hours.
This walk is for Blackheath Society Members only. If you are not a member and would like to join us, please visit our website. www.blackheath.org
