Backup Options

If the weather changes or a venue is busy, try these alternatives

  • The Canbury Arms pub

    Cozy pub if weather turns - short walk from riverside

  • Bentall Centre shopping

    Indoor option if showers arrive

A lazy morning along the Thames, ending with a long lunch. This is Kingston at its most relaxed.

The Route

Start at Kingston Bridge and walk south along the Thames Path. The first stretch passes houseboats and rowing clubs before reaching The Boaters Inn - perfectly positioned for a mid-morning stop. From there, it’s a short walk back into Kingston for lunch.

Why It Works

The timing gives you the river when it’s quiet, before the afternoon crowds. By the time you’re ready for lunch, you’ve earned it.

Getting There

Kingston Station is a 5-minute walk from the bridge. Trains from Waterloo run every 10 minutes.
