Walking in London
London is vast, but its centre is a chain of distinct neighbourhoods linked by parks and the Thames. Walking between them is the best way to understand how the city fits together.
Terrain. Mostly flat with good pavements; Hampstead and Greenwich have the main hills.
Distances. Westminster to St Paul's is about 40 minutes on foot; Covent Garden to Leicester Square is shorter than one Tube stop.
