On the way, you’ll take in the best of Richmond, from the little lanes to the Thames Path. At the end, you’ll have options for continuing your walk in whatever way suits your tastes.This section of the Thames path winds in and around inlets, wharfs and bridges, with cool historic sights along the way.Most London bridge walks that start at Tower Bridge will take you to touristy spots; this doesn’t. Enter the Durnsford Road Recreation Ground, following the path that turns left and then sharply right. Walk across the footbridge at Limehouse Basin, around Limehouse Marina, and take the twisted paths that take you straight to the Thames! Follow the railway line by Estreham Road. After the road bends right, turn left through the subway under the railway to Potters Lane. I hope you enjoy playing around with it and that it helps you discover new-to-you areas of the UK capital.
