Overview

Starting from Blackheath station, we walk across Blackheath Common and around Greenwich Park, going through the flower garden and visiting a viewing point. We descend to the River Thames at the Cutty Sark and then follow the Thames Path to finish at the O2 in North Greenwich. Lunch at the end of the walk in The Stargazer. An easy mud-free walk on good paths, some downhill but mostly flat.
