In the words of Shakespeare: ‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players’. Well, you could be mistaken for thinking all of London is a movie set when you consider how many films have been shot here. This 8km/5-mile walk from Vauxhall to London Bridge hugs the River Thames, passing the listed brutalist architecture of the South Bank and offering the kind of views of the capital that frequently grace the silver screen.
