The other week I walked the lovely stretch, taking me from London Bridge all the way down to Westminster and Big Ben. The route takes you past quite a few amazing parts of London as well as offering that salty smell in the wind which forever is associated with the waves of the North Sea swelling in.

It's a good walk, with so many things to see and enjoy.

Along the walk you have loads of gems and smaller pretty spots of interest:

London Bridge
Start by walking over this famous bridge and turn your head to the left and look to the east, seeing the beautiful tower bridge.

Borough Market
Enjoy this bustling little gem of a market, make sure to eat as many free samples as you can and catch the waft of all the wonderful smells.

Southwark Cathedral

Right next to the market is this lovely little cathedral, the architecture is lovely, there's a little courtyard which accommodates a little cafe and on of the best places to sunbathe, a stones through away from the thump noises from the overground from London Bridge

Shakespeare's Globe
Keep snaking along the south side of the river an soon you will pass the Globe, wonderful building with a lot of history.

Tate Morden

Right next to the Globe you will find the massive brick building towering up, holding any contemporary art that you would want to see. If you have some time, you should go in and see the exhibitions as entry is free. When you get out and head towards Millennium Bridge make sure to keep your eyes out for the little stands (camped out there on sunny days) selling roasted almonds.

Millenium Bridge
This bridge that was a little bit architecturally challenge in it's baby days will give you the most wonderful view of St Paul's. So make sure you look carefully.

St Paul's Cathedral

If you have the time keep walking all the way up to the Cathedral. But if not, keep west and keep close to the river as this will be the most uninterrupted stretch that you can walk right next to the river.

Embankment
Walk all the way here. If you get tired there are plenty of raised up park benches with a lovely view of the river. So rest for a bit an enjoy the view. Then pass over Hungerford Bridge.

BFI
Have a quickly look at the grey concrete that is the British Film Institute and then stroll west on the south side of the river. Take the opportunity to look at the London Eye, if only from the ground - because riding it will cost you a lot of money.

Westminster
Finally finish off you walk with having a quick look at the houses of Parliament and the Big Ben.
