Before the walk

- Use street-level detours around closed sections; do not cross barriers
Check hours, tickets and access with each venue. Barriers may change the track and queues may add time. Accessibility has not been surveyed on site
Questions before the walk
Does the route include climbing Vessel?
No, the stop is at ground level; check tickets and access separately
Can every museum be visited along the way?
A Whitney visit and The Shed programme add substantial time; choose one main indoor stop
