Walk along the Thames Path from Hampton

The river Thames, Hampton 

Hampton is a lovely place to spend a sunny summer's day. The scene is if from a brochure with idyllic waterfronts and rowers on the Thames.

The London section of the Thames Path covers 40 miles (64 km) of easy, level walking on both sides of the river from Hampton Court Palace, through the heart of London to the East India Dock on the north bank and the River Darent on the south bank.

Did you know?

The river Thames is Europe's cleanest major river.

When walking from Hampton the Thames Path skirts the gardens to
Hampton Court Palace which are level and terrain easy. The walk on the north bank from Hampton Court to Kingston Bridge is 2.9miles (4.6km) and should take about 70 mins at a leisurely pace. Map of walk
Don't worry about losing your way, the Thames Path is clearly signed and waymarked along its length using the distinctive National Trail acorn symbol alongside its name. There are also lots of extra information boards to interpret the things you meet along the way.
