Timeline
15:52
Walk from St Katherine's Priory westward toward the river. The walk takes about 20 minutes, so leave the priory area with time to spare. This is a quiet start before the evening crowd.
16:12
Arrive at Belmont Park. Find a spot on the grass facing west-southwest. The park opened in 1886 and offers wide, open views. You have about 15 minutes to settle in before the sun hits the horizon. The golden light begins at 15:41, painting the sky just before the sun dips down at 16:37.
16:52
Head into the city for dinner. Oh My Kimchi is a Korean restaurant located just a short walk from the park area. It is open from 12:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, so it will be ready for your post-sunset meal.
17:22
End the evening with a drink at Henry's Bar. It is a pub serving drinks until 23:00. You can get three drinking tokens for £11. It is a relaxed place to wind down after the meal.
