Leo's Angels Charity Walk
The walk will follow the Thames Pathway in London. From Woolwich Arsenal station we will walk to the Thames Path’s eastern trailhead at the Woolwich Foot Tunnel (where the Thames Path meets the England Coast Path) then mostly alongside the river to London Bridge. There are great views of London landmarks throughout.
Near the start of the route we pass the impressive Thames Barrier and walk alongside sites of industry which give way to tourist hotspots as we head west. Going around the Greenwich Peninsula and past the O2 there are many modern artworks to look out for, as well as views of the skyscrapers at Canary Wharf.
About halfway through the route we come to the Old Naval College at Greenwich. We plan a refreshment stop at the the 19th-century sailing ship Cutty Sark in Greenwich where you will see volunteers with water should you need it. There are plenty of shops and places to grab something to eat if you are peckish.
The walk will then continue through Deptford, Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, passing former wharfs, docks and piers in the historic Pool of London. Towards the end of our walk, the modern City of London comes into view and the iconic Tower Bridge. The route ends at Bermomdsey Bierkeller (SE1 2SY) which is near London Bridge station (National Rail & London Underground).
An area has been reserved betweem 3pm-7pm where drinks and food are available to be purchased. We will be holding a charity raffle between 5pm-6pm.
Toilets are available at the Thames Barrier (free) and Greenwich (50p charge at time of writing).
The route is on pavement so comfortable walking shoes or walking trainers are recommended.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
