Discover Thamesmead on Foot
One of the best ways to experience Thamesmead is simply by walking.
The neighbourhood has been designed around water, green spaces and open landscapes, creating miles of largely traffic-free routes suitable for walkers of all abilities. Whether you're looking for a gentle stroll around Southmere Lake or a longer walk connecting the Thames Path, Lesnes Abbey Woods and Crossness Pumping Station, there are plenty of options to explore.
Along the way you'll discover waterside promenades, nature-rich wetlands, striking architecture and peaceful green spaces that feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of Central London.
