Kew to Kings: Path to Parliament along the Thames, with tour
About the event
DESCRIPTION As you might know, I work at the Houses of Parliament, so what better way to end a riverside adventure than right on its doorstep? This 20 km tough hike starts at Kew gardens station and follows the beautiful Thames Path through leafy parks, riverside pubs, and iconic London neighbourhoods, finishing at Westminster. Expect a mix of nature, history, and urban charm. Depending on access and permissions, I might be able to bring a couple of guests inside at some point for a look around, any bars open — no promises, but it’s a possibility!
