Step 3

The iconic Queens Walk

This footpath and route goes all the way along the south bank, with a detour to St Paul’s. This walk ends at Big Ben.

Watch out for artwork from “The Chewing Gum” Ben Wilson. See his instagram page. And don’t miss the skate park on the Southbank.

It’s a fabulous walk with lots of stops.

It’s worth taking a look at Gabriel’s Wharf and popping into Limin for a Caribbean treat.
