Lambeth and the South Bank Walk

For this walk, I actually got to lead it! We got a pretty big group together: it was me, Amy, Sydnie, Macy, Mckenna, Sarah, Emily King, and the Miller kids. I was a little nervous because this meant I was navigating and I didn't want to get the whole group lost! But it ended up being just great.This was actually probably the most fun walk I've done. Archbishop's Park was so fun! There was an amazing playground that is every child's dream: there was tall slides and small animals you can ride in and a rock wall and a rope spiderweb and all kinds of other play equipment. As soon as we saw it, we all starting walking fast and then broke out into an all out run. It was so fun!After that we walked along the south bank of the Thames and it was gorgeous. We got to look out over Big Ben and the Thames right as the sun was setting - it was the perfect time of day.
We walked along the river and it was awesome to see the people sitting on all the benches and walking past the lampposts. We walked past the London Eye, which was absolutely massive to see up close. This was also a super busy spot in terms of restaurants and nightlife.
There were lots of people out and about having fun. We also got to walk over Waterloo bridge, which was a beautiful view and the first time I've walked across the river Thames. Overall, I would say the word to describe this walk would be enjoyable. And we didn't even get lost once!
