This wander started at the Jubilee Pier steps outside the Royal Festival Hall, which lead down to the Thames foreshore. I followed the shore southwards for a while, seeing the Eye from underneath, and then almost getting caught under the Hungerford Bridges when taking a photo of fleeing pigeons.

From there I carried on to the Oxo Tower wharf, then on the embankment to Tate Modern, the Millennium Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral, visible, for a short time, over the preserved facade of a building presumably being reveloped.

To close the day I walked from Hammersmith to Barnes Bridge along the north embankment, catching the water on the Thames just before getting the bus home.
