A mixed weather forecast today, but we decided to head into London for a walk along the Thames.
Finding the correct exit from Waterloo Main Line station was a challenge, but we were soon in a office plaza heading to the Thames:
Then through Jubilee Gardens with a view of the London Eye:
The path by the London Eye, London Dungeons and Sea Life Aquarium is always heaving with tourists, so it was nice to walk under Westminster Bridge to a bit of (relative) peace and quiet:
It was now time for a coffee break:
Then along Albert Embankment towards Vauxhall:
There is a bit of a detour around MI6 Headquarters then back to the river along St Georges Wharf:
And before long, a second detour to busy Vauxhall, with its strange landscape:
However, we were soon back on the Thames along Elm Quay:
It was now time for a drink, and we found a quiet (and dog friendly, though we sat outside) pub:
and was glad to get going again:
After yet another detour, we reached Battersea Power Station:
The old Coaling Jetty has been transformed into a nice spot for lunch:
We then walked under Battersea Bridge to Battersea Park, and Rocco could finally have a run around:
From there it was a short but busy walk to Battersea Park Station, then home via Victoria:
A nice day, and in the end, only a few spots of rain.
