Vauxhall Bridge
This walk follows the
Thames River from Vauxhall Bridge to
Chelsea Wharf. This walk should take one to two hours, but
there are so many interesting stops that you might want to
take the whole day to complete it.
This walk follows the itinerary of walk 56 of
100 Walks in Greater London. While this walk is in
central
London, England, it still offers peaceful sections and
views of several bridges.
Vauxhall Bridge was originally called Regents Bridge which opened in 1816. Regents Bridge was the first iron bridge over the Thames in central London. The current bridge, with five steel arches, replaced Regents Bridge in the late nineteenth century.
The route recommended by Peter Rudd in 101 Walks in Greater London starts at the Plimico Tube Station. We started this walk at Buckingham Palace. We then wandered to Victoria Tower Gardens next to the House of Parliament. From there we followed the NW bank of the Thames past the Tate Gallery to Vauxhall Bridge.
