Overview

This walk will pass all the central London Elizabeth line stations and their entrances, the last of which, at Bond Street, opened on 24 October 2022. En route we pass many sights in the City, West End, and Hyde Park, which those on the trains below will miss.

Toilets available at start and end and en route at Lincoln's Inn Fields and in Hyde Park.

Lunch: at the end of the walk - suggest cafés and shops at Paddington, or picnic in Hyde Park - but we will have a halfway stop in Hanover Square for drinks.

Train: Liverpool Street (Zone 1) is served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Elizabeth lines, London Overground and Nat Rail. Return from Paddington (Zone 1) served by Bakerloo, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Elizabeth Lines and Nat Rail.
