Question of the week: Autumn is fast approaching, and leaves are slowly falling. What is your favourite thing to do on a crisp, London afternoon?"

"The Jubilee Walkway. If it's a lovely (dry!) afternoon, what better than to wander London on foot, and few itineraries can beat the Jubilee Walkway which links all the main attractions and sights in London. It was first laid out as part of the celebrations for the Queen's silver jubilee in 1977 and it was rejigged slightly to mark her golden jubilee. Part of the walk between Conway Hall and the London Centre is on the route - but it's only a small part of the whole thing. Starting and ending by Leicester Square, if you're feeling energetic the 9-mile route is a great way to spend an afternoon and really gives you a view of London. If you don't fancy the whole thing, every part of the route is easily accessible by public transport so you can do sections of it as you like. The entire route is marked out by silver 'Jubilee Walkway' discs on the ground about every 30m so it's hard to get lost. The Walk London website even has audio guides to download for free.

If you're inspired by this walk, check out that website for other led walks that will be offered free over the weekend of 24-25 September as part of Walk London's 'Autumn Ambles Weekend'."- Clare
