Queen's Walk is the central promenade that hugs the banks of the River Thames on the south side, opposite the Victoria Embankment. It takes tourists on a wonderful trip from Westminster Bridge in the west to Blackfriars Bridge in the east. The walk takes visitors past some of London's finest attractions but also has few little surprises of its own, featuring street performers, public gardens, tucked away markets, restaurants, bars and shops. Not to mention the great river views.
