The amazing history of the banks of the River Thames

Free guided walk along the South Bank and Bankside as part of Walk London's Winter Wanders weekend.

2000 years of history, from the mudbanks of the Thames to modernity, from bawdy houses to bear-baiting pits, from an ancient cathedral to a cathedral of modern art.

As you stroll along one of the most historic and beautiful parts of the Thames riverside, you will also see eight iconic bridges, two world-famous theatres, an infamous prison, a palace, and a buzzing open-air market. All human life is here!
