Following the green spaces of South London from Waterloo to Wandsworth/Putney.
The sun shone as 12 walkers met at Waterloo staion and set off with a spring in their step. South of the river was at its best to welcome us. Gardens old, gardens being regenerated under the guidnace of the Garden museum, Vauxhall gardens beingused for recreation as of old- updated to boules. Massive new build for Thames city with admirable planning of green spaces. Baterseas Power station regenerated to skating rinks and funfairs and Battersea Park remaining as welcoming as usual. All seemed well in 2025
SWR to Waterloo. Trains frequent or Underground on the Northern line to Waterloo
We leave Waterloo station to walk through Archbishop Park and the Lambeth Palace conservation area and onto Vauxhall gardens. From there we explore the new ‘green’ spaces of the growing Thames City around the American Embassy and into the Battersea Power station for a Christmas fun fair and into Battersea Park and follow the Thames path to Wandsworth Bridge for lunchAfter lunch you can walk through Wandsworth Park to Putney and the really fit can probably walk home. Putney has bus, train and underground access to most of west London.
