Short London Breaks – Excellent Budget Days Out For the Family
Short London Breaks ever welcomes the opportunity to elevate the wholesome outdoors spirit – and
possibly a city in the capital doesnt immediately lend itself to persuasions of striding out
and taking in some sweet air, but with the development and investiture that has taken place over the past few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a rosy exhilarating day like today.
If you’re barely in the metropolis for the weekend then the ensuing walk ticks lots of diverse boxes – sight-seeing chances,
culinary delicacies, culture, and best of all, good on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by tube then Id consider starting at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Coming Up down of either of those steer North tll you arrive at the the River Thames.
Why not set about your tour by embarking out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the of many of the alternative bridges
it does afford a special place to take scenes of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then bearing west along the river once more you shouldnt miss a wander around Borough Market – a tangible
treat for all the gourmets out there who require divine guidance or just something fantastic to snack on.
The food market specialises in produce from modest societies and producers from round the UK – but it also is
a marvelous place to find out olives from Greeece, cheese from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the listing is continuous.
Its a extraordinary place to pick up a sandwich for later on in your walking also.
Extending along back to the river you’ll view some of the greatest panoramas of the river from here – with the City of London
offering its strongest attractive face, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a of inexpensive eateries along the river walk at this phase – pizza, Greek, up market burger shops too – so
if youre in the market for a mid-price as a break this is a great point to choose, and you can savor the river views at the same time.
Umpteen of the restaurant along here are members of the larger groups and so its worth assessing out their sites
for price reduction vouchers and special offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Keeping along the Thames Path then you’ll shortly arrive at the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth visiting and checking out
the special deals. They do fantastic standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
aura of the theatre at around £5 it makes for a wonderful night’s entertainment even if plays arent your wonted thing.
Continuiung our amble along the SOuth Bank, coming to the Millenium Bridge you’re presented with a pair of choices.
Simply walking out onto the bridge, again, gives some good pic chances, but it also allows you to hive off up to St Pauls Cathedral and come across
Christopher Wren’s creation.
Back on the Southside there’s more free culture available in the form of the Tate Modern – which always has
a central exhibit in the main hall which generally delights even the most disinterested art viewer.
Just the outline should fill at least three hours of your morning, but if youre still keen to hit the pavement further then continue along the river to the South Bank
complex – go into the Royal Festival Hall, up to the 6th floor balcony and delight in some of the best views of London. Dont forget to take your camera with you
and this is an afternoon when the budget wont be hit gravely at all!.
