Walking Through London

I was fortunate to spend a week in London earlier this month.  I was delighted to find an amazing walk along the Thames, The Thames Path National Route.  Although the December weather was cold, it was fun to walk along the Thames and see all of the vibrant river activities.  The path is well marked and beautifully maintained.  A great advantage of this civilized route was the ability to rest frequently at local pubs and restaurants.  I was able to spot gulls, terns, cormorants, mallards and several species of pigeons along the river.  I heartily recommend this walk and urge anyone traveling to London to check the website and find a little time to enjoy the route.
