London is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world, boasting some of the best attractions, restaurants, and culture. From its iconic landmarks to its history, London has something for everyone. But one of the best ways to experience this magnificent city is on foot – taking in the sights and sounds of its many walks and walking tours. And luckily for visitors, London has a number of superb routes that offer spectacular views, historical insights, and an adventure along the way.
Before we discuss these iconic walks in detail it’s best to book yourself a comfortable and conveniently located hotel where you can relax and have a nice rest after and before starting your walking adventures in the city. The Park Avenue Inn in London is just ideal for this. Providing great location and amenities this is the best place to book your stay in London.
Green Trails are some of London’s most beautiful walks and allow visitors to explore nature while taking in historic sites along the way. The Lea Valley Walk is a great example that takes walkers through meadows and forests while also offering glimpses of impressive wildlife such as deer and waterfalls. It includes plenty of interesting stops like Lee Valley Park Farms where you can watch horses being trained or visit The Stables Market on Saturdays for local produce. This is a great one for families to do together. If you are travelling with family, book yourself a spacious double room in the Paddington area.
The London Loop follows a route around Greater London’s inner ring road that passes through boroughs like Bromley, Barnet, Havering and Tower Hamlets. Along this twenty-five mile path you will encounter everything from rural landscapes to urban parks such as Epping Forest – perfect for anyone who loves spending time outdoors but still wants access to convenience stores or pubs when needed! This too is ideal for families with young children as there’s plenty of rest stops throughout the walk too.
The TFL20 Heritage Trail allows visitors to take in over 200 sites across London connected by Transport For London (TFL). This trail offers some unique insights into how transport networks have shaped the capital over centuries; passing through places such as Clapham Junction (the busiest railway station in Europe) or historic buildings like Kings Cross Station with its spectacular Victorian architecture. To do this iconic walk it is suggested to book a hotel in Paddington UK.
The Capital Ring is another popular circular route around inner London that visits open spaces such as Walthamstow Marshes or pretty spots like Sydenham Hill Wood Nature Reserve – perfect if you prefer a more tranquil stroll! This 75-mile long-distance trail takes approximately two weeks to complete so it could be broken up into smaller chunks if needed too. If you are a solo traveller or someone who is looking for some me time then you can avail some great offers for a single room accommodation in Paddington.
If you’re looking for something a bit more centrally located then consider checking out Jubilee Greenway which links places such as Buckingham Palace with Big Ben via Hyde Park Corner or Westminster Bridge – key sites within British history! If shorter walks are more your thing then check out Jubilee Walkway which covers 12 miles between Hampton Court Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral – definitely worth considering if you want to explore central London on foot! Lastly Thames Path is an excellent option with stunning riverside scenery all along its 184-mile length including highlights like Oxford University’s boathouses at Henley-on-Thames or Kew Gardens near Twickenham Stadium; ideal if you want an escape from city life without going too far outside its boundaries!
So no matter whether you’ve got a few hours spare or days available there’s sure to be one (or several!) walks/walking tours that suit your needs in London city. So why not grab your trainers/boots today and get exploring!
