I spent an extremely pleasant November evening strolling along the Thames Path from Tower Bridge to Westminster along the north bank of the river. I started at Tower Bridge Underground station, walking down to the river as dusk was beginning to fall.

I headed west along the well signedposted river walkway. You go through tunnel at Southwark Bridge with have several murals depicting London through the ages painted on to the tiles.

Some of the best view were over to the Tate Modern with the London Millenium Bridge enabling pedestrians to cross from St Pauls Cathedral over to the art gallery.

It took me around an hour and a half to walk the two miles, mainly because I stopped so often to take photos. The path is well lit and there were people around in all the sections I walked, a mixture of tourists, families, joggers and cyclists. I felt quite safe walking on my own. I was lucky that it was a clear, dry evening only slight chilly in a breeze. There were clean public toilets open at Tower Bridge and Embankment and several pubs and restaurants along the way. I thought that the walk was probably more enjoyable because it was dark and the illuminated buildings and structures were so beautiful. You can see video footage of a daylight boat trip down the Thames at Travelistic.
