Less than 4 Miles
GETTING THERE AND BACK:
START: Waterloo station then walk to Festival Hall for Coffee/Toilets
Bus 243 to Hatton Garden
FINISH: St.Paul’s Cathedral (or Fleet Street if the extension to the walk is added)
ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS:
This is a fascinating walk through hidden Clerkenwell which only has one drawback - there are very few facilities for refreshments en route. It is therefore a very good idea to start at the Festival Hall for Coffee/Toilets since the bus stop is on the southern end of Waterloo Bridge. Clerkenwell is very quiet at the weekend but the museum of St. John of Jerusalem is always open and has an excellent exhibition and good toilets. The best place for lunch is in the Barbican where there is a great cafe and plenty of places to eat a picnic outside. The extension to St,Bride’s is worth doing but the walk can be curtailed at St. Paul’s Cathedral if you wish. (The Crypt is good place for a cup of tea) Bus 26 and others takes you back to Waterloo.
