To start get off at Piccadilly Circus tube and walk from Coventry Street towards Leicester Square. Turn left down Rupert Street.
From Rupert Street turn left back onto Coventry street and walk back towards and passed Leicester Square. The street will veer right and become Garrick Lane where on the left you will see a skinny street called Rose Street where you will see the Lamb and Flag at the end.

Walk towards the Thames passed the Embankment tube station and then turn right onto Victoria Embankment, walk about 150 metres where you should see the Tattershall Castle permanently docked on the side of the Thames.
This is the place pictured above and a great place to end up. If you finish here to head home - walk back towards Gordon's Wine Bar where you can catch a Northern, District or Circle line train from Embankment station.
