The Capital Ring
Do you like the idea of walking for 126km around London? Or if that sounds like too big a commitment you can just choose the best sections for smaller walks. We completed the Capital Ring walk in 2016 and LOVED it! We normally did 2-3 sections in one day to have good long walks, but you could do more (or less) to suit your walking style.
The walk is divided into fifteen parts:
(I’ll add links to each section as I write them…)
- Woolwich Foot Tunnel to Falconwood

- Falconwood to Grove Park

- Grove Park to Crystal Palace

- Crystal Palace to Streatham

- Streatham to Wimbledon Park

- Wimbledon Park to Richmond Bridge

- Richmond Bridge to Osterley Lock

- Osterley Lock to Greenford

- Greenford to South Kenton

- South Kenton to Hendon

- Hendon to Highgate

- Highgate to Stoke Newington

- Stoke Newington to Hackney Wick
- Hackney Wick to Beckton District Park
- Beckton District Park to Woolwich
There are really good resources to help you on your way with this walk! You can download information and maps about each section here, and there is a downloadable googlemap here.
