The Capital Ring

Back in the autumn of 2009 when I was a woman of independent means I spent ten days walking around London via the Capital Ring.

The Capital Ring is one seven strategic walking routes promoted by the Mayor of London and the local authorities. The routes are well signed, with leaflets freely available from Walk London and accessible via public transport. Ideal for unemployed Londoners! The Ring is 78 miles long and encircles London within a 4-10 mile radius from Charing Cross.

So if you want to take a trip around London's highways and byways, green lanes, bridleways, footpaths, towpaths, rivers banks, docklands, parks, country parks, recreation grounds, golf courses, cemetaries and sewers, commons, estates ducal and regal, click here.
