Is there a Beach in the middle of London?

'I spent an hour on the Thames beach in middle of London where you can actually make sandcastles'

Alexandra Thurston had an ice cream and walked along the small stretch of sand as seagulls called overhead - in Central London!

Queens walk is home to River Thames very own pebble and sand beach boasting stunning views of London in the sun. Only 10 minutes from Southwark underground station, the South Bank beach stretches a sandy 100-metres at low tide.

‘Ernie’s Beach’ can be easily over looked walking along at high tide but when revealed makes an ideal day out before the school bells start to ring. Named after local resident and community activist John Hearn, known as Ernie, I found the beach to be a hidden gem amongst the bustle of the city.
