You will then go past the Tate Modern and over Southwark Bridge to join the Thames Path, where you will head towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge via some of London's most unknown hidden paths.

You will then return through the City, back over Southwark Bridge to the lively Bankside area, on the south side of the River Thames, again passing world-famous landmarks such as the Globe Theatre & Tate Modern.

After another 500m, you will cross the Millennium Bridge and once again take in the views of St Paul’s Cathedral as you head towards the finish line in Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route of our wonderful capital city!
