What the walk feels like
The pace is deliberately conversational: from the fortress atmosphere of the Tower of London, you cross Tower Bridge and descend onto the Queen’s Walk for intimate skyline views of the Shard, pass converted warehouses and the sensory bustle of Borough Market, thread narrow streets to the reconstructed Globe Theatre, absorb contemporary works at Tate Modern, then cross the Millennium Bridge to arrive at the quiet, resonant interior of St. Paul’s.
