Overview

A brisk paced (3 miles per hour) city walk taking in a variety of paved streets, canal and park paths and numerous points of interest. After crossing Abbey Road the route soon picks up the canal at Little Venice and heads towards Paddington Basin, Marylebone and some quiet mews north of Hyde Park.

We will have a picnic lunch in the park before heading down through Knightsbridge, Chelsea and crossing the Thames to our final destination via Battersea Park.

There are plenty of exit points if you want a shorter route. 

The finishing time is an estimate and will depend on the weather on the day as well as the number of stops and time spent taking in our interesting surroundings.

No booking required.

Not really suitable for bringing a dog as there are so many streets to cross unfortunately.
