This walk broadly follows the route and stations of the proposed Crossrail 2 from Clapham Junction to King’s Cross, but features a varied slice of inner London through Battersea Park, Grosvenor Riverside, St James's Park, Piccadilly Circus, and Bedford and Gordon Squares.
Central London is largely flat, but we cross nearly 30 roads, with many twists and turns, particularly after lunch as we pass through the busy West End. There are, however, many opt-outs if needed.
