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.

greenwalks.uk

Here at lwalks.london, we wholeheartedly support the principles of greenwalks.uk as they encourage car-free walking. The site contains a wealth of information about hundreds of walks around the UK using public transport at the start and finish of a day’s outing (and at intermediate points for a hasty retreat).

Recent commentary on my walks

Below, you will see the three most recent posts about my walking activity.

• 
  Doctored Docklands
  A traverse of Docklands on a wintry morning, from Royal Albert DLR station to Whitechapel, linking the Elizabeth Line stations.
• 
  A walk in wintry Warwickshire
  The first crisp winter walk of the season. About 11km in a loop from Hill Farm marina S of Henley-in-Arden. An excellent walk in fine weather with good company.
• 
  London Summits Walk refreshed
  The route and its notes have been overhauled to take account of changes. There are now 23 sections of 10-18km each, down from 59.
