I walked from Canada Water to London Bridge. A good walk with lots of shops restaurants and views across the Thames. Interesting architecture. Only open between 7am and 11pm (see picture).
Miserable day but an interesting and varied walk.
Some cobbles but otherwise okay for wheels.

A pleasant walk through old warehouses and following Thames Path. Very accessible with flat cobblestones. Nice views of the river.

Great walk, mostly using the Thames Path. Lots of the time you have a view across the Thames which is fab. The most spectacular include Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, but in the dark the towers of the City and Docklands look especially good. The bright side of light pollution.

Enjoyable route with plenty to look at on the way. I would get onto the Thames Path as soon as possible, once you either leave London Bridge Station, or, as I did, get off a bus.

Apart from the section going Lower Road near Canada Water, this is a nice walk along the river.

A great route with lots of iconic river views. Mostly fine for wheelchair and buggy users, and very flat. However, in some places there are very narrow pavements and no dropped kerb, meaning you’d need to use the road. Traffic is very light and there are lots of pedestrians and cyclists using the road, so I don’t see this as a big issue. We saw some wheelchairs and several buggies on our survey walk.

Worth noting that the OS map shows you turning off Tooley Street at a road that leads to a dead end. Take the turning before this (by Brigadier restaurant) instead - it links to the same place.
