Step 1: We started this walk from the south side of Blackfriars Station. This walk follows the main path along the Jubilee Walk, Southbank.

Step 2: It’s busy at weekends with tourists and families as there’s so much to see and do around here. Go through the tunnel on the right.

Step 3: Look across the Thames to the newly renovated building owned by Hachette, a big book publisher. The old and the new sit quite well together.
