View of the Palace of Westminster

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful walking and running path along the Thames with iconic views. This side of the Thames is easier for a run than the other, more winding bank.

View of the Palace of Westminster

Highlight • Monument

"The Westminster complex - and this includes the Houses of Parliament, St. Margaret's and Westminster Abbey - is the most historic site in the entire British Empire," says the website for the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity", which presents UNESCO World Heritage sites worldwide to the culture-loving viewer (albeit in German) in short, 15-minute segments. The film clip corresponding to this highlight can be found in the ARD media library at the following link:

Millennium Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Millennium Bridge is a steel suspension foot bridge that links Bankside with the City.

It initially opened in June, 2000, but pedestrians experienced an alarming swaying motion on its opening day, the bridge was subsequently closed for almost two years so that modifications and repairs could be made to keep the bridge stable and stop the swaying motion. It reopened in February 2002.

The bridge provides a clear view of St Paul's south facade, framed by the bridge support.

Thames Path North Bank: Victoria Embankment (Waterloo Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge)

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Thames Path is a National Trail that runs from the Cotswolds to Woolwich in London. It's 185 miles (298 km) long if you fancy running the whole thing.

Through most of central London you have the option of running the path on either side of the river, allowing you to create some nice loops of the city.

This segment follows the path on the north bank along the Victoria Embankment between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge.

Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben)

Highlight • Monument

Big Ben, or to give it its proper name, the Elizabeth Tower, is probably the most famous and iconic clock in the world, along with being the most photographed. It is also one of the most prominent cultural and parliamentary symbols of the United Kingdom. Completed in 1859, during Queen Victoria’s reign, it is 96 metres high. It’s said that its Big Ben nickname was derived from Sir Benjamin Hall, an elected Member of Parliament of the time; he was otherwise known as ‘Big Ben’.
