Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about The Queen’s Walk | Thames Walk

The sidewalk of South Bank (The Queen's Walk) is wide, but on weekend afternoons it gets crowded with people. The trick is to always walk as close to the river wall as possible; dense pedestrian flows tend to move through the center and near restaurants.
Absolutely not. The Ferris wheel is impressive from below, and the best photos are taken from the pedestrian promenade itself and the nearby bridges. Our philosophy is not to pay for overpriced attractions when the outdoors offers a monumental free experience.
Yes, this route is excellent in services. You can use the free, spotless and accessible toilets at the Royal Festival Hall or the Tate Modern (you don't need to buy a ticket to enter the lobbies and use the facilities).
Along the way you will see excellent musicians, acrobats and sand artists. If you stop to watch their entire show or decide to take photos of them from the front, London lore dictates that you should leave them a small tip (nowadays almost everyone accepts contactless payments by card or phone).

The soul of this experience

The River Thames is the main artery of London, and the pedestrian promenade of the South Bank (The Queen’s Walk) is the best seat to watch the city’s spectacle. Beginning under the golden shadow of Big Ben, this walk immediately immerses you in the pulse of the London metropolis. You will see the imposing London Eye rotate slowly as the sky changes color. As you head east, the Gothic architecture transforms into the modern brutalism of the National Theater and the industrial heritage of the Tate Modern. It’s a total visual immersion where you understand, in a single uninterrupted pedestrian walk, why London is the capital of the world.

What will you find along the way?

Your tour begins at the south end of the Westminster Bridge. As you descend the stairs to the river path (The Queen’s Walk), you will leave the noise of the cars behind. You’ll walk right under the colossal London Eye ferris wheel. You’ll continue flanked by street performers, second-hand bookstores under bridges, and improvised jazz musicians.

After passing the immense brick chimney of the Tate Modern, your final destination will appear in front of you: the Millennium Bridge, the futuristic steel walkway that crosses the river pointing directly towards the immense dome of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Security level

Yellow Zone: It is an extremely safe area in terms of violence, but due to the immense number of distracted tourists, it is a “hot spot” for pickpockets. Keep your bags closed in front of you and keep an eye on your phone when taking photos.

Accessibility and mobility

Inclusion Grade: Gold. The walk (The Queen’s Walk) is wide, paved, 100% flat and free of vehicular traffic. There are ramps and lifts to access the bridges, making it ideal for wheelchairs, although crowds can slow you down.

Golden Spot Tips

When you reach your destination (Millennium Bridge), do not cross yet. Stop right in the center of the south side access ramp (Tate Modern side). Align the perfectly straight steel walkway in front of you with the majestic dome of St Paul’s Cathedral in the background. At dusk, the light illuminates the cathedral while the bridge becomes a futuristic arrow pointing towards it.
