Route Overview

This section threads through the busiest London riverfront: the South Bank, Westminster, Battersea and Wandsworth before reaching Putney. It is a good winter or shoulder-season stage because transport and food stops are constant.

Train Notes

Start from London Bridge, Tower Hill or Tower Gateway. Finish at Putney Bridge tube, Putney rail, or nearby bus links.
