An Opinionated Guide to London Walks

Discover the capital through 40 suggested walks, taking in verdant green spaces, striking architecture, oddball history and other cultural and gastronomic hotspots. Amble down the Regent's Canal, tour the City's haunted buildings on a sleepy Sunday or trace 1,000 years of history in the East End. Whether you want to uncover urban wildlife, grand buildings, spectacular public sculptures or simply sample all of London's best food and drink in one indulgent day, these walking routes will reveal the city from a new angle.
