Annual Events
 | Day 1 – Royal London
Start – Westminster Underground Station.
The point of departure for this route is a visit to Westminster Abbey. The abbey is situated on the northern bank of the Thames, right next to Big Ben and Parliament. At the end of the visit to Westminster we recommend crossing Whitehall Street towards the river bank and visiting Big Ben and Parliament.
In order to reach the next station on the route – the London Eye Ferris Wheel, you need to cross the river by walking over Westminster Bridge. Immediately after crossing the river you turn left and walk for a few minutes along the river's southern bank, heading north, until you reach the London Eye Ferris Wheel. It's very prominent, and you can't miss it.
When the ride on the Ferris wheel comes to an end we recommend crossing the river back to its northern bank, the same way we came, on Westminster Bridge.
Immediately after crossing the bridge, turn and walk right (north) on the northern bank of the Thames along the Victoria Embankment. When you reach Northumberland Ave., turn left (west) and walk on the wide avenue until you get to Trafalgar Square.
After getting a general impression of the square, and feeding the pigeons that abound there we recommend a visit to the National Gallery.
After visiting at the National Gallery, walk along The Mall. A large part of this walk goes through St. James Park, until you reach Buckingham Palace. This is the end of the route for the first day.
End: Hyde Park Corner Underground Station. |

Start – Paddington Station
After leaving Paddington Station, go around to the back of the station. Here there's a narrow passage for pedestrians leading towards Little Venice. If the direction isn't entirely clear you can ask one of the policemen stationed at the station's entrance to show you the way to Little Venice.
After visiting the Little Venice area and looking at the boats that dock there, we recommend walking along Regent's Canal until you reach Regent's Park. When you get to the border of the park, turn and walk right (south) along the border of the park on Park Road, until you reach the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Here we recommend visiting the Madame Tussauds Museum, on the southern edge of Regent's Park.
When the visit is over cross the park to the north. You practically walk along the entire length of the park on a path called The Broad Walk, until you get to the London Zoo. Throughout the park are signs pointing in the direction of the zoo. When you finish visiting the zoo we recommend that you continue to walk along the canal. A paved path right by the canal leads from the northern edge of the zoo to Camden Town. Here you should visit and do some extensive shopping at Camden Market, which is one of the cheapest places to shop in this city.

This is a bridge for pedestrians called The Millennium Bridge, and it was inaugurated in 2000.
After crossing the river over the metal bridge you arrive at the entrance of Tate Modern, and you visit the gallery.
At the end of the visit at the gallery, you should walk along the river heading east (the river is to your left). Several hundreds meters away is Shakespeare's reconstructed Globe Theatre.
In the evenings you can see a play at the theatre, and during the day we recommend touring around the building.
After this visit, continue further east along the southern bank of the river until you reach London's new City Hall. After touring around the building, which looks like a glass egg slanted on its side, cross the river to its northern bank, over Tower Bridge.
