If 2020 has reignited anything in Londoners, it’s the love of putting one foot in front of the other. In lockdown it became about so much more than getting from A to B – walking is now a way of London life.
Its creator, Helen Ilus, first pitched the idea on Twitter as part of the National Park City campaign. When people responded to the concept, Ilus developed it. It’s now a London-wide map marking 380 parks and open spaces and suggesting green routes to walk or cycle between them all. While it doesn’t detail the exact routes between each park, it helps you plot your way between green spaces, with walking distances between each park also on display so you can calculate your step count.
It includes London’s major parks and well-known nature spots – from Hyde Park to Primrose Hill – but it also maps lesser-known wetlands, commons, moors, woods and reserves all across Greater London.
