Thames Path Geotrail

from the Thames Barrier to Rotherhithe

The Thames Path Geotrail starts at the Thames Barrier Information Centre and follows the Thames Path National Trail with a short deviation along the Green Chain Walk, for 6 miles ending in Rotherhithe.

The walk reveals some of the fascinating Earth Science stories hidden below the concrete foundations of London. Traces of past climate change, that totally eclipse current concerns, and tales of human endeavor are made clear by studying the geology of London by walking over it.

The walk was devised by the South London RIGS group.  Download the Geotrail information by clicking here (pdf).
