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.

Orpington to Knockholt: An Easy Sunday Walk
On a cloudy day in October, I took my dear hiker friends on a walk from Orpington to Knockholt ending in a pub for a traditional Sunday roast. You might be wondering why this walk is in the “Walks in London” category because Orpington is not London! But in fact, it is London, somehow… as it is accessible by Oyster card … no train tickets needed. And believe it or not, I have made the mistake myself! So, I prefer to mention it to save you from making the same mistake I did.
