Woolwich Riverside with Thamesmead Loop

Discover the Thamesmead section of the Thames Path on this 12.4km flat, paved loop. Beginning at the Royal Arsenal Heritage Site, you'll follow the river east, enjoying open views and a sense of space often surprising within London. The route then conveniently loops through Crossway Park via The Ridgeway and a segment of the Green Chain Walk, offering a slightly greener interlude before rejoining the riverside for your return.

With 85% of the surface paved and no elevation gain, this route is ideal for regular, accessible training runs. Its largely urban and riverside character makes it perfect for those seeking a straightforward, uninterrupted workout, or a leisurely sightseeing jog exploring this evolving corner of South East London.
