The Route
Day 1
Starts at 8.30am at Clifford Chance’s offices at 10 Upper Bank Street in Canary Wharf where Clifford Chance have kindly agreed to provide a hot drink and biscuits to start walkers off.
Because we are starting at the Isle of Dogs there is a quite a bit of river crossing and a quick tour of Battersea Park to make up the lost miles from our old Thames Barrier start.
After circling the inside of the Isle of Dogs you stay on the North bank until Tower Bridge where you cross and take the South Bank to London bridge. North Bank to the Millennium Bridge, where you cross to walk the South Bank to Westminster. Cross again and along the front of Parliament setting off for Chelsea Bridge. Cross the bridge and the route takes a route through Battersea Park to Albert Bridge where you cross the river again. From there it’s a reasonably straightforward route to Putney Bridge which you cross to the High Street finish.

Day 2
Starts at Putney Pier (Thames path south side again – just West of the Bridge) and take the South Bank Thames path all the way until we cross the River at Teddington footbridge. A little road walking takes you to Bushey Park where a circuitous route of the park makes the walk up to 20 miles before exiting at Hampton Court Gate and straight across the road in to the Kings Head pub.
