I am a walker based at the western edge of London. Here, you will find step-by-step guides to my own walks, and reviews of other routes (with pointers to the literature), and of some guide-books. As you will see below, I do get out of London too.

London

Here, in the site’s most extensive section, you will find details of all the London-based walks, including railway days out from the capital and the walks which link up the endpoints of the radial routes from Trafalgar Square.

Rest of UK

Walks in other parts of UK are to be found here.

Beyond UK

Looking across the North Sea and English Channel, there are guides to my walks in Germany and Netherlands, and commentary on other walks.

Recent commentary on my walks

Below, you will see my three most recent posts, with the newest first.

• 
  TfL routes upgraded
  I have now revised and upgraded the route descriptions for my TfL routes —following the DLR, Elizabeth Line, Overground, trams, Underground rail lines, and the Superloop bus routes. Twenty-two documents.
• The Three Circuits — further revision
  During work on new routes, I ended up retracing steps on the three long circuits of London. That put me into revision mode, and I visited some more parts which I knew needed work.
• Walk local — Harefield Healthwalks
  Over the winter and through the spring, I put together a set of walks in and around Harefield to chime in with the Heart and Lung initiative at the Harefield Practice, in conjunction with the hospital next door. There is now a set of fourteen walks, ranging from 1.2km to 15.3km (don’t worry, the longer ones may be broken up at bus stops along the way), on streets, lanes and towpaths, and over parkland, farmland and woodland. The webpage has a link to an accompanying document which gives gives full details with photographs.
