London is one of the greatest cities in the world, as there's something for everyone to see and do. Below is a selection of walks of varying lengths and difficulty that cover the vast majority of the city as well as its suburbs and some of the home counties.

For interesting walks in central London with lots of famous sights along the way, try the London Wall walk and the South Bank Walk. Transport for London (TfL) also have a selection of walks on their website, which like these walks, are of varying lengths and difficulty.

Itineraries[edit]

• London Loop. - A circular route encompassing North and South London
• Oak Trail. - Located in Epping Forest.
• Thames Path. - Follows the path of the River Thames from its source in the Cotswolds to its mouth in the North Sea.
• Walk the London Wall. - Takes you along the remaining parts of London's Roman wall.

Some considerations[edit]

General notes[edit]

• Do not feel that you have to follow or complete the walks given on this page exactly as written. If there's something interesting down a side street, or something has an 'off the route' feel, you can adapt the route as per the diversion you take (E.g. walking along a canal/river rather than a road). If you want to avoid a busy road by diverting through of London's many green spaces or parks, feel free to do this as well.
• You can also break up the longer walks into multiple sections, as most Londoners won't be walking the length of a Marathon on a regular basis! For more information, look at the last bullet point of this section.
• Weather in the UK can be unpredictable, as a sudden downpour can dampen your plans and enthusiasm quickly, so make sure to bring an umbrella and/or raincoat. By contrast, make sure to take enough water, sun cream, and a hat on a warm and sunny day. Given the British climate, the best times to complete these walks is from the second half of April to the first half of September.
• Sturdy and sensible footwear is strongly recommended. Whilst trainers and sandals are OK for walks in the city centre or West End, where you are on paved/canal tow paths and pavements (U.S. sidewalks, Aus/NZ footpaths), walks in London's green spaces (or the country beyond the fringes of suburban Metroland) may take you onto unpaved paths. Because of this, a decent pair of walking boots and walking socks are strongly recommended.
• Not all streets and paths in London and the surrounding region are public, so some may be closed at short notice. Obvious security measures (E.g. gates, barriers, legally worded signs) are indicators, and evidence of 'services' in back-alleys (E.g. parking, waste bins), are another indication that a path may not be public.
• As a major metropolis, London changes constantly, older maps may show streets that have vanished or closed. Transport links may also have changed.
• For shorter distances within a residential area/community (E.g. In commuter/suburban towns or the West End), there will be plenty of people who will be willing to help you.
• Due to the size of London, you're bound to meet a wide range of people. Because of this, it's highly recommended that you try and finish a walk by sunset, especially

if you're doing a walk in multiple chunks.

Transport[edit]

• Rush hour/peak travelling time is usually between 7AM and 10AM in the morning and 4PM and 7PM in the evening. Because of this, it's strongly recommended that you try and travel to your start point and from your end point out of these times, as trains are significantly busier at these times and train tickets are more expensive, including travelling on TfL's network. If you get an all-day travelcard specifically for London, this will also allow you to use the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground and various bus routes (including those at night) between travel zones 1 to 6, which will be extremely useful for the walks that end in the suburbs.
• You can also use one of the iconic Black Cabs by booking one in advance, hailing one on the street, or going to a designated taxi rank, which are located at many of the major railway termini. If you want a cheaper alternative to these, you can use Uber to request a taxi to your exact location. Uber also run the Thames Clippers in conjunction with TfL, which can be used as a fast way to travel along the Thames from Central London to parts of the inner suburbs.
• For more information about TfL train, bus, taxi and boat services, including the Woolwich Ferry and the Tube's night service, look on the Transport for London website. For information about mainline tickets and times, look on theTrainline and National Rail websites, the former of which includes coach routes across the UK and international rail travel across Europe.
• If a walk requires you to travel into travel zones 7 to 9, you will need to buy a separate ticket at one of London's termini stations, including London Bridge station, as stations on the Tube network are unable to sell these tickets. You will also need to buy a separate ticket for Tramlink and the London Cable Car, should you need to use them.
• Train tickets on both the Trainline and the National Rail websites are usually released 12 weeks in advance before your dates of travel, so keep watching for their release to make sure that you get them at the cheapest price. If you're planning on buying coach tickets to come into London from elsewhere within the UK, these are usually released on Trainline around 6 months before your dates of travel. If you have a railcard, use that to reduce the price of your tickets, especially if you're buying them in peak travelling times.
• Be aware that major urban roads in Greater London can have issues with traffic congestion, which comes with the associated fumes. If you're coming into Central London by car, it's strongly recommended that you park outside of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and come in by public transport in order to avoid the congestion charge, particularly if you've got an older vehicle. By comparison, some streets in the outer suburbs and beyond can be highly residential in nature, and so appropriate politeness and respect of privacy is always appreciated.
• If you want to find a cheap place to park in London, look at the website JustPark, where you can park on someone else's driveway for a significantly cheaper price than many of London's car parks.
