Start at the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, where you can also see the Cutty Sark
A stroll along the Thames will take you past the Olympic sites in Greenwich, as well as many other parks and attractions.
If you're up for it, you can walk the whole stretch from Maritime Greenwich to Woolwich.
Too tiring? Then stop at The O2, where you can take a bus to Woolwich if you wish.

If you or your group are interested in attending, please email michele.douglas@greenwich.gov.uk with your address and daytime phone number.
