In London? Walk London!

Last weekend was a lovely sunny day for Londoners, and I decided to make the most of the weather with a long walk.

I decided to once again use the excellent Walk London site to choose a route.

If you are looking to get some exercise, get away from city streets or simply fill a few hours on a weekend or holiday, I strongly recommend Walk London.

They have selected a number of exciting routes across the capital, cut them into sections and provided detailed information about each section, including break points and transport links.

Saturday's walk was from Woolwich Arsenal station to Mottingham station, and involved walking part of Section Five and almost all of Section Six of the Green Chain walk, which covers South East London.

The walk took me through miles of peaceful woodland, where squirrels scampered across the earth and birds tweeted (not that kind of tweet, although getting animals to use social media would be interesting!)

Walk London is a fantastic resource for the Londoner who needs a break from bustle.
