One of the best River Thames walks, the South Bank London walk starts at Westminster Bridge, looking towards the Houses of Parliament, and is an easy walk all the way to Tower Bridge(approx 2.5 miles / 4km in total).
The South Bank walk starts at the southern end of Westminster Bridge, looking towards The Houses of Parliament / Palace of Westminster (the nearest London Underground station is Westminster). The Houses of Parliament were built in the late 1800s (Grade I listed) and they are where all the important Government decisions are (supposedly) made. Until ...
As you head east on your South Bank walk, you can see County Hall to your right. Built in 1922 in a baroque style, this used to house the London Council but now is home to various amusements, including Shrek’s Adventure London (Shrek got his green colour from swimming in the Thames – fact!) and a Sealife Centre, plus a couple of South Bank hotels. ...

A few steps from the book-sellers, you’ll come across a statue of Sir Laurence Olivier, which means you’ve arrived at the National Theatre. The jury is still out on the building exterior but the inside is warm and welcoming and the shows here are some of the best you’ll ever see. We were fortunate enough to see Bryan Cranston perform in ‘Network’ a...
Gabriel’s Wharf was named after a woodworking family business founded by Christopher Gabriel that used this site in the early 19th century as a timber yard. Their wharf lives on today as a Southbank restaurant and cafe complex that has bags of character – there are beautiful illustrations on the wharf wall and lots of colourful kiosks and delis. Ga...
A few metres from Gabriel’s Wharf brings you to the Oxo Tower, formerly a powerstation that now houses a fine restaurant on its upper levels with stunning balcony views.
