Weekend Walk — South Bank

**Sign-up is only possible via the WeMeet app:** https://onelink.to/wemeet **Saturday afternoon, London, nothing on? Come for a walk.** 👋 Two hours starting on Roupell Street — one of the prettiest old terraces in Waterloo — then down to the river and east along the Thames, past Tate Modern and through Borough Market, ending at Tower Bridge. **4–5 km, easy pace**, plenty of time to talk. 🌊 Tower Bridge puts us right by Bermondsey — anyone who fancies it stays on for a coffee. ☕ 👟 **Comfortable shoes are all you need.** We walk in drizzle and call it off in proper rain. **Most people come on their own and don't know anyone beforehand — that's rather the point.** Nothing to bring, nothing to prepare, nobody to know. Just turning up is enough. 🙂 💬 **There's no host at this event — what there is instead is the event chat.** Do say hello there beforehand, it makes finding each other on the day much easier. **And please only sign up if you actually plan to come** — it's fairer to everyone else who'd like a spot. 🙏

You’ll see fluffy newborn pups, playful young seals, and giant males lounging on the sand. 🐾 Volunteers will be nearby to answer questions and help ensure everyone enjoys this special wildlife experience safely. After our gentle 6–7 mile easy coastal walk, we’ll head to a local country pub at 4:00 PM for a well-deserved late lunch and a chance to relax, chat, and share photos before heading back to London. 🍻🥧 \-\-\- ***📸 What to Expect*** **✨ Up-close (but respectful!) encounters with baby seals.

Each year, female seals return to the same beaches to give birth — and the pups, born with white fur, stay close to their mothers for about three weeks before heading into the sea. In recent years, conservation efforts have helped the population thrive, turning this quiet stretch of coast into one of Britain’s most treasured wildlife spectacles. 🌍💚 \-\-\- **🚶‍♀️ Hike Details** **Distance**: 6–7 miles (easy and mostly flat) **Difficulty**: 🟢 Easy – suitable for all fitness levels **Terrain**: Sand dunes, grassy paths, and beach sections **Duration**: Around 3 hours (including photo stops and breaks) ***Please note: The seals are wild animals — if they approach you, do not touch them.

**Metropolitan Walkers is part of the Ramblers, Britain's walking charity. All welcome for 3 'taster' walks, after which please join the Ramblers - info on the [Met Walkers website](https://www.metropolitan-walkers.org.uk/how-to-join/)** We will be walking anticlockwise from “Go”, starting at Park Lane [Dark Blue] and ticking off iconic properties from the London Monopoly board. From Mayfair, we will make our way through the retail hubs of Oxford Street [Green] and Regent Street, heading south-east. Along the way, we will visit Vine Street [Orange], the shortest street on the entire board, and pass the former Marlborough Street Magistrates’ Court, now a hotel; this route brings us down to Whitehall [Pink] and Trafalgar Square [Red]. We will cover both ends of the Strand, taking a detour through the bright lights of the West End and Leicester Square [Yellow]. Finally, we will cross into the City of London past the Temple Bar dragon to finish on Fleet Street. By the end, we will have covered 17 board locations and completed 6 full colour sets, which is surely a winning combination. No Speeding! You will not collect £200, but you are very welcome to join us for a drink at the end, provided we all manage to avoid the least popular square on the board. There is an optional luxury tax to be paid to the walk leader (in the form of a pint). **Leisurely \| 4 miles / 6\.4 km** **Start: Marble Arch.

📏 **Key Info:** • Distance: 12 miles (20km) • Grading: [Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf) • Ascent: 20m • Hiking time: 5 to 6 hours • Cost: £36 (includes guided hike + ferry + return train) • Refunds: Payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you follow our [[Resale Process](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf)] and your place is rebooked, we’ll issue a refund. • Toilet Breaks: On the train, at the mid-afternoon stop, and at the end pub 📍 **Meeting Point** • Location: Victoria station. Meet between WHSmith (no 34) and Nero Express (no 29) - [MAP](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/StationPhotos/Victoria.jpg) & [PHOTO](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/StationPhotos/VictoriaPhoto.jpg) • Time: Meet 8:30am, leave 8:50am for the 9:05am train • Return: 7:15pm arrival back in London (you’re committed until then) 🌟 **Highlights** • Explore **Chichester Harbour** — a 3,700-hectare estuary and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, teeming with wildlife • Take a **ferry ride across the historic Chichester Channel**, famously painted by J.M.W. Turner • Stroll through **Chichester Marina**, one of the South Coast’s most vibrant harbours with over 1,000 boats • Visit **Chichester**, an ancient Roman city fortified after AD 43 • Enjoy peaceful coastal scenery, wildflower meadows, and serene waterways 🥾 **Hike Description** Our adventure begins in the historic **Roman city of Chichester**, whose roots stretch back nearly 2,000 years. From here, we set out toward **Chichester Harbour**, the largest natural estuary in South East England and a protected wildlife sanctuary. The harbour’s expansive tidal waters and saltmarshes are alive with birdlife, making it one of the UK’s richest coastal habitats. We follow a scenic trail past the **Bosham Channel**, a picturesque stretch of water that has inspired painters, poets, and writers for centuries. Soon we reach the **Chichester Channel**, once used as a wartime shipping passage and immortalised in a painting by **J.M.W. Turner**. Here we cross by the traditional ferry, a unique highlight of the day and a chance to admire the waterway up close. Arriving in the old village of **West Itchenor**, our route continues to the bustling **Chichester Marina**, home to more than 1,000 boats and one of the South Coast’s most vibrant harbours. From here, our path meanders past ancient villages, coastal meadows, and historic sites before concluding with a refreshing visit to a local pub — the perfect way to end this coastal journey. This is a very flat coastal route and much of the hike follows paved paths, promenades and quiet lanes rather than rough countryside trails. It is less rural than most of our hikes. 🧭 **Guide:** • Leader: [BEA](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07345 241215 🍽️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch • Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional) 🎒**What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) 📲 **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) 👣 [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) 📖 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) 📸 [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) 📄 **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) © Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2026 E & OE
