Walks Ideas & Inspiration For Londoners
With Summer around the corner and the sun making an appearance, we all want to get out. But where to go in London to have a pleasant stroll without melting? Surprisingly, a walk around Welsh Harp, also known as the Brent Reservoir, comes as a nice surprise. Not so well known (except if you live locally), a walk at the Welsh Harp offers shade and fresh air. It’s a perfect place for a nice day out with friends and family.
The good thing about London is that you do not need to go far to track down some exceptionally decent walks. Take Horsenden Hill for instance: who would have thought that you could walk through meadows, a farm, a forest and along a Canal, all within a London postcode and accessible by tube? And you can! A walk through Horsenden Hill will definitely make you forget you are in the city.

In this post, I am taking you on a portion of the Thames path from Belvedere to Greenwich.
