London

Rivers, Parks, Commons, and Historic Routes

From the Thames and its riverside paths to royal parks, commons, woodlands, and historic neighbourhoods, London contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by centuries of growth, movement, and connection. Trails such as the Thames Path, Capital Ring, London Loop, and Jubilee Greenway reveal many of these environments, linking riverside landscapes, open spaces, historic landmarks, and some of the capital's most distinctive districts.

Long-distance routes pass through parks, commons, woodland, waterways, and urban landscapes, connecting places that reflect London's history, culture, and geography. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal a different side of the capital while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
