View of Tower Bridge from the Thames Path

Highlight • Monument

The Thames Trail is a 180-mile (296 km) footpath in England that follows the course of the River Thames. It runs from the source of the Thames at Kemble to the river dam at Woolwich in south-east London. A continuation on the south bank of the Thames of about 16 km is possible to Crayford Ness.

Former London City Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

City Hall is the home of the London Assembly that works with the Mayor of London to run the city.

Disappointingly, although this strangely shaped building was reportedly designed to reduce its surface area and maximise energy efficiency, the use of glass means that the building is anything but efficient!

View of Tower Bridge and the Sundial Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Inside Towerbridge, not particularly expensive and very exciting. Great view over the city. The steam engines and the mechanism that used to lift and lower the bridge are clearly explained. Compared to many entrance fees in London, it is quite affordable.

View of Tower Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge consists of two towers, tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal tension forces imposed by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The bridge deck is freely accessible to both vehicles and pedestrians, whereas the bridge's twin towers, high-level walkways and Victorian engine rooms form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition, for which there's a small admission charge.

Fun fact: I have also paddled under this bridge whilst kayaking home for Christmas a few years ago, finishing up just after the bridge and soon after diving into the nearby The Dickens Inn historic pub, situated within the lovely St Katherine’s Harbour. Highly recommended!
