The Silver Jubilee Walkway, as it was known then, was originally laid down in 1977 as the main feature of the work of the Environmental Committee, set up by the London Celebrations for The Queen's Silver Jubilee, under the Chairmanship of Max Nicholson. Her Majesty The Queen opened it by unveiling a plaque on the South Bank Lion, on the night of the Thames fireworks celebrations on 9 June 1977.

On 12 July 2006, a number of people who knew Max commemorated his involvement with the Jubilee Walkway by walking the Northern Loop of the walkway on what would have been his 102nd birthday. On 12 July 2007 a slightly larger number of people walked a further section between Russell Suare and Tate Modern.

We are planning to walk another section of the Jubilee Walkway on Saturday 12 July, starting at 10 am outside the City of London information booth opposite St. Pauls Cathedral. Full details will be announced on this page in the next few weeks. The planned route is shown below, with some pictures of the previous walks. The Jubilee Walkway website has a detailed map and descriptions of the route.

Please come prepared for the weather and note that the Trust can not accept any liability for your safety and security as part of this activity.
