Geocaches - 3
Walk Inspiration - Jubilee Walkway Western Loop
Find myself working in the smoke, so a chance to complete the next part of the Jubilee Walkway.
The Western Loop is the longest, at just over 6 miles, and the easiest tube route drops me at the door of the Salisbury in St Martin's Lane. I have been wanting to visit this pub since Ian Nairn, in his 1960's guide to London Architecture, described it as "West End Glamour, with all the Stops out". It hasn't changed from his 50 year old description and its pleasing that the Art Deco lamps are still in situ.
So Tea before walking.

| New Favourite West End Pub |
 |
| Can't see the Lamps, but lovely views all the same |
Onto the walk - Simply follow the Silver Globes embedded in the pavement.
No point in describing it. The pictures tell a thousand words. Just look both ways when crossing the roads. And don't be scared to use your torch for Geocache hunting. No one cares in the City.

| New Art Installation at Trafalgar Square - The Horse Skeleton |
 |
| Nelson's Column, with a finely hidden Geocache. Watch for Muggles. |
 |
| Horse Guard Parade - and I fancied a go as well |
 |
| 8pm Traffic Jam at Admiralty Arch |
 |
| Across St James Park for First Views of Big Ben and London Eye |
 |
| Down Millbank and over Lambeth Bridge |
 |
| Cache number 2 coming up |
 |
| A stretch along the South Bank to one of the best located pubs in London - Founders Arms |
 |
| Heaters meant March Outdoor Sitting |
 |
| Millennium Bridge - My Favourite View of London |
 |
| Downstream to Tower Bridge and the Shard |
 |
| St Paul's Cathedral |
 |
| Down Ludgate Hill to the Strand and a pub I would not normally walk on by |
 |
| But I know the Seven Stars in Carey Street is coming up - 1602 and one of the few buildings to survive the great fire |
 |
| Remember to close the door or Mr Ruff will escape |
 |
| Pass Lincoln Inn's Fields and back to the West End and Covent Garden |
Two Jubilee loops down, three to go.
