Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

Unlike its sibling, The City of London, The City of Westminster is quite a large place. I have therefore broken the circuit around its extremities into a couple of walks. This section starts at Blackfriars Rail/Underground Station, in the far southeast, and finishes in the far northwest at Westbourne Park.
On the way we will pass through The Inns of Court, Covent Garden and The Regent's Park, where we will stop for lunch. Then up through Primrose Hill and across through the suburbs of St John's Wood and Kilburn before coming back along the canal to Westbourne Park.
I won't be sticking slavishly to the boundary and will deviate to take more enjoyable routes.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
There will be a toilet stop at Lincoln's Inn Fields, about twenty minutes into the walk, but there are limited cubicles so please use the facilities on your train if you can, to speed things up.
No booking required.
Multiple drop-out points.
Meet outside the ticket barriers at Blackfriars Underground Station (the north side of the river). Blackfriars Station is in zone one and is on the Circle and District Underground lines and is served by multiple Thameslink and Southeastern rail services.
We will finish at Westbourne Park Underground Station which is in zone 2 and is served by the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines.
