Along the route

Local Area Guide

Hammersmith

The western start, by the Eventim Apollo and Hammersmith's riverside pubs a short walk down to the Thames.

🍽 Eat: The Dove and the Blue Anchor along the Hammersmith riverside.

Kensington High Street

Along Kensington High Street — the shops, Holland Park's peacocks and the Design Museum just off the line.

💎 Gem: Holland Park's Kyoto Garden is a serene, free Japanese garden tucked in the trees.

Knightsbridge / Royal Albert Hall

Past the Albert Hall and the Albertopolis museums, then into gilded Knightsbridge — Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

🍽 Eat: Harrods food hall is worth seeing even if you're not buying.

💎 Gem: The Albert Memorial opposite the hall is gloriously over-the-top and free to admire.

Hyde Park Corner

The grand green pivot — Hyde Park, Wellington Arch and the start of Mayfair's calm.

💎 Gem: You can climb Wellington Arch for a rooftop view over the park and the palace gardens.

Piccadilly

Down Piccadilly past the Ritz, Fortnum & Mason and the Royal Academy — old-money London at its finest.

🍽 Eat: Fortnum & Mason's food hall for the full theatre of it.

Aldwych

The finish by the Strand and Somerset House, on the edge of Covent Garden and the theatres.

💎 Gem: Somerset House's courtyard fountains run all summer.
