Starting at Falconwood Station, we take in Sheperdleas Wood, Oxleas Wood, Oxleas Meadow and Charlton Park.  We will pass Severndroog Castle, which was built in the late 18th century and sits on one of London's highest points, where it might be possible to see much of the city (on a clear day). The walk then heads to Thames Barrier and follows the Thames Path till Greenwich Park where we pass the Queens House and Royal Observatory. We finish at Blackheath, where there is a good selection of waterholes to chose from.
