Andy Church @kodakprofessional_europe

Description: Starting with views of Tate Modern on one side and the City across the river (next to the iconic Millenium Bridge) - we will head west along the south bank walk. We'll pass beneath BlackFriar's bridge and notice the ghostly remnants of its predecessor – old stone columns left standing mid-river. After that comes the Oxo Tower, whose distinctive stained glass “OXO” windows are a clever remnant of a time when advertising was restricted.

Continuing along, we'll see Gabriel’s Wharf, filled with independent eateries and boutique shops. On to the London Studios, once a hub for British television, especially on Saturdays when eager fans flocked for glimpses of pop stars. Next is the National Theatre, often alive in summer with free outdoor performances, followed by the second-hand book market tucked beneath Waterloo Bridge. The Southbank Centre complex comes next, offering an eclectic mix of music, dance, and art across the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Hayward Gallery, and Royal Festival Hall – all buzzing with events and summer balcony concerts. As the path continues westward, we'll stroll into Jubilee Gardens before arriving at the iconic London Eye and County Hall, now home to entertainment venues like the London Aquarium and an arcade.

Just past the Aquarium we'll finish at St Thomas' garden (https://what3words.com/chew.flip.amused) with views of Westminster across the river, and then retire to a local pub (exact one tbc) to rest and hand in your film for developing.

Meeting location: St Leonard's Warrior Square Railway Station (outside exit facing the beach)

If you are travelling by train from London, I recommend buying a return ticket to Hastings.

Then when you go home, you can leave from Hastings train station, instead of walking back to St. Leonard’s Warrior Square (unless you want to!)

I'm planning we could finish up at The Crown pub, if it's not too busy. If the group is big I'll try and reserve a table for us (around 3pm or 3:30pm) for drinks and chat. I'll look for a back up cafe/bar if that doesn't work out.

Accessibility comments: Cobble street, gravel, crowds possible, access ramps to cross river. I think that most people should be able to enjoy the walk as it is, and route adjustments can be made if necessary.

Accessibility comments: Due to the nature of the walk, it being in an old historic town built in a river gulley, there are a lot of steep stairs and incline's. This walk would not be suitable for mobility users, though alternative routes can be suggested and I can walk with them to ensure they do not miss out.
