Timed outline
The plan, with the boring-but-vital buffers included
Times show a usable sequence. Each segment also carries an honest distance state, access caution, pushchair note and child break. “Unmeasured” is intentional where no defensible route distance exists.
Solo route
- 01Flexible stop
10:20 • 70 min
Leadenhall and Bull’s Head Passage
See the broad market approach and the more precise doorway detail without blocking working frontages.
- Walking distance
- Local walking is required; exact distance is unmeasured unless the linked location guide states otherwise
- Access and surfaces
- Open the linked location guide for known surfaces, then verify the exact street approach.
- Pushchair
- Street and venue conditions vary; use the linked guide and live access information.
- Child break
- Treat this stop as optional and leave early for a seated break if energy drops.
- 02Meal / rest
11:30 • 105 min
Borough Market lunch and Stoney Street
Allow time to eat, find facilities during market trading and inspect the screen street before the lunch peak.
- Walking distance
- Venue-dependent—choose the closest suitable seated option and map the exact approach
- Access and surfaces
- Seating or toilets are not assumed; confirm the chosen venue’s current access directly.
- Pushchair
- Confirm storage, aisle space and toilets with the chosen venue.
- Child break
- This is the planned seated, food, water and toilet break.
- 03Travel buffer
13:15 • 40 min
Choose Westminster or the West End
Use live disruption and remaining energy—not completionism—to decide.
- Walking distance
- Route-dependent and not field-measured—calculate the exact start and end in TfL’s live planner
- Access and surfaces
- Check every station, street crossing and destination separately; step-free rail does not certify the street route.
- Pushchair
- Prefer fewer changes and verify lift status, platform gaps and the final street approach.
- Child break
- Use the buffer for toilets or a short pause if needed; do not consume the next fixed-booking margin.
- 04Flexible stop
14:00 • 75 min
