London Walks

Question of the week: London Walk's Winter Wanders 2010 are coming up this weekend, so do you have a favourite walking route around London?

"Normally, my advice to anyone coming to London is to look up - so many of the beautiful details of the city are above ground level. This time, though, I'm going to say 'look down'. If you're walking near the London Centre, or coming from the flats, your quite likely to see round metal symbols embedded in the pavements you're using. These roundels define the Jubilee Walkway around central London - the cross of the crown pointing in the direction of travel, and they join up to form a set of interlocking loops around many of London's treasures. The Camden Loop especially might provide you with some interesting variations on your route home, around Bloomsbury and the City of London. (You might assume from the name that it would take you further north than that, but this is Camden for the council, not Camden for the tube station and markets)"
