Title: AlrightJack's Sunday Morning Urban Walks in London Thread Post by: AlrightJack on September 29, 2010, 03:57:56 PM 1st Walk this Sunday
Start Time: 10am Start Place: TBD, but likely to be Finsbury Park, North London Destination: Metropole Hotel, Edgware Rd Route: We'll make that up as we go, but likely to pass through Camden Town matrket, the Regent Canal and Regents Park, before ending up at the Hilton Metropole, where the EPT is taking place. It will be no more than 5 miles in total and with regular watering stops along the way and always at a gentle pace, should take no more than 3 hours. Its a great way to discover places and streets in London that you would otherwise never see. Anyone interested?

I'd have been up for it, but have my daughter this weekend and it'll be a bit much for her to bring her along. definitely up for future walks though - it shames me sometimes that I've lived in this city all my life but still haven't seen most of it.

Nothing wrong with a bit of bustle... we will be passing through there at about 11am and its not too bad by then.

I walked everywhere when I lived in London (and indeed everywhere else I've lived) - it is true - that is the best way to properly find out about any town Title: Re: AlrightJack's Sunday Morning Urban Walks in London Thread Post by: Claw75 on September 29, 2010, 07:18:58 PM I walked everywhere when I lived in London (and indeed everywhere else I've lived) because you can?

I am trying to think of a back route from Finsbury Park to Camden that can be done in an hour. You must be a fast walker or I am verry slooow! Though my husband says it could be done in an hour so perhaps I should try it one day but I am too lazy!

you should definitely put a trip to the top of primrose hill on the route |
