Walk London - Free guided walks
Walk London has announced its 'Spring into Summer', the third series of
free led walks being organised for the weekend of 31 May-1 June on every

which is organised in 24 sections; the 75 mile Capital Ring in 15 sections;
the 22 mile Lea Valley Walk; the 14 mile Jubilee Walkway; The Thames Path and

New Self-Guided Walk - Rotherhithe
Mike Biggs has written up another of his favourite London walks; this time a
circular walk around Rotherhithe, encompassing the old Surrey Docks area which
has now been extensively redeveloped with a mix of new building and converted
warehouses, and the old heart of Rotherhithe village with its connections to
the Pilgrim Fathers.
See the Rotherhithe Circular Walk page for
the route guide and photos.
