London Summer Walk 2025

Get active & explore some of the Capital’s historic areas with a tour of the ‘gateway to London’ along the Thames’s eastern section.

Starting alongside the grandeur of Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks, the 25 km looped route heads through Charlton, along the Thames Path around the Greenwich Peninsula, past the O2, Old Royal Naval College & the fabulous Cutty Sark.

Then it’s through the Greenwich foot tunnel and into Docklands, past the Thames Barrier Park and back to Woolwich via the 2nd foot tunnel. A route steeped in history with iconic sights, and capped with a BBQ & bar at the finish, making for a wonderful end of summer celebration.
