Good morning! Sun is shining, London is waiting! If you don’t have any plans today, why not go on a walk?
The capital ring is great to see parts of the city you’ve never been before. I had rumbled on sections of the Capital Ring in North / East London before (e.g. along the Parkland walk, see here or along the river Lea, see here) but after I made the decision to tackle the complete Ring, this was the first “proper” section I walked in its entirety. The section is 8.5km long and you can find the official map and small description of the route by TfL here.
I think, this section gives a good flavour on what to expect along the ring in general
– quiet residential areas in Zone 2/3 (wow, those type of “normal family homes” seem to exist in London!)
– unexpected patches of greenery and nature (was i not walking along 5 train tracks a second ago?!)
– sometimes quite boring sections just walking along / next to busy roads (yes, we are still in London)
– unexpected gems and discoveries along the way (yay, found another “official walking path” to tackle on day and hats off to TfL another amazing architectural gem along the way!)
That's London Baby!
