Thames Path - Richmond to Hammersmith Bridge

Selection of photos from a  walk along the Thames Path yesterday.  A very leisurely stroll taking in a few pubs.  The most exercise we managed was dodging all the cyclists, out taking part in annual the 'Ride London' event (link here).  

Information on walks along the Thames Path can be found on Transport for London's website (link here)

All Saints Church, Isleworth (I think)

The Ship, Mortlake - definitely worthy of a stop-off

Salt Beef

We were fascinated by the cow on the roof - and I labelled it 'salted beef', thinking I was being incredibly witty.  I have just googled it - and is a sculpture, called 'Salt Beef'.   It was part of the 2002 Cow Parade (info here).  We didn't notice an astronaut on the neighbour's roof terrace though.  

So that is where all the pubs are (Stamford Brook)

The Bridge pub, Barnes - a lovely pub which we nearly missed out on because it looked 'a bit dodgy' from the outside.
