Small and a bit dirty. Not my idea of a beach

Stunning little beach in the heart of London. Golden yellow sands and stunning views of the Thames and London. Hidden gem. On a warm day it’s brilliant. Completely agree with other reviewers though, dogs should not be allowed on the beach area. It’s too small. We saw irresponsible dog owners allowing their dogs to run all around young families. One dog defacated on the beach and the owner had nothing to clean it up! 😡

What’s the best way to spend a summer weekend? A partner and yourself sipping a cold dutchie beer on the Thames sand.
