We’ve never managed to walk the stretch of the Thames riverside between Chelsea Bridge and Albert Bridge before, but when we spotted that the gate to the river was open, we hit the beach!
If you’re walking away from Battersea Power Station, you can find the entrance just as you enter the park.
We only saw two other people walking this delightfully empty space.
Albert Bridge in the distance.
Looking back at Chelsea Bridge.
Costa del Thames!
Ladder leads up to Battersea Park.
