Thanks Lou, I think I might try the Thames Pathway, one side tonight, the other tomorrow morning (possibly).

I would go over the Bridge, turn right and go down the road then right again into the park, then left past city hall. Follow the Thames down then choose a bridge to cross to cone back the other side. Busy but lovely run.

Or you can stay on the side you are on, come down to Tower of London go underneath the brigde and follow the path past the hotel (actually that might be your hotel if its right on the water?). Cross the mini bridge and skirt through st katherine's dick, up the first set of stairs (like three of them) and then follow the road to a park, go through and then follow the path into wapping. It is a bit stop start here but lovely running through old quiet London. Beware a few of the path bits close at sunset, but wapping high street is interesting in itself anyway.

Hope those routes make sense!

You'll never get away from intersex Clare. But Curly's "skirt through st katherine's dick..." is priceless too! :-)

Thank you Curly. I appreciate your post for all of the right reasons. It also made me smile :-). Before running I'm going to take advantage of the hotel's 25m pool.
