Escape London

Selected by James, from our Trade Marketing team, this route takes you from the hustle of London Bridge into the post-industrial docklands of South East London.

London Bridge to Greenwich and the Thames Barrier

Distance: 4.5 miles (Greenwich) / 9 miles (Thames Barrier) / 16 miles (Fourpure Brewery)

Difficulty: Easy to medium

What to look out or: The tall buildings quickly fall away as you head along the river Thames, and with each meander of the river a new view emerges. From the historic Royal Naval College at Greenwich, to the imposing Thames Barrier, you’ll soon feel a long way from Central London.

Drinks stop: Stop at the Fourpure Basecamp Taproom on the return journey for a well-earned, locally brewed beer.
