"Walk Along the Thames South Bank hasboth the best river walk in London and the city's liveliest cultural centers, so a walk along it is a must. The path takes you from the Globe and the Tate Modern along the Thames—passing Gabriel's Wharf with its stellarrestaurants and bars—to the National Theatre, the Royal Festival Hall, the Hayward Gallery, and the London Eye. A two-mile strip has never held so many different entertainment opportunities; you could spend weeks along it without getting bored. That's not to mention the regular outdoor performances and the unparalleled views of the bridges over the river, Big Ben,and the Houses of Parliament."
