Discover a Different Side of London with KAYAK
KAYAK contacted Hiking in London while finalising its London Travel Guide, inviting our community to be represented within its Activities & Attractions section.
London is a city that rewards curiosity. Beyond the famous landmarks, museums and shopping streets lies another capital: riverside paths, historic neighbourhoods, woodland and countryside surprisingly close to the centre.
That is why we were delighted when KAYAK contacted Hiking in London while preparing its London Travel Guide.
See London beyond the obvious
The KAYAK London Travel Guide helps visitors understand the city, discover its neighbourhoods and find ideas for what to see and do.
But London is best experienced slowly. Walking reveals the details between the landmarks: a hidden garden, an old pub, a quiet square, a market or a path beside the Thames.
“Sometimes the best way to discover London is simply to slow down and walk through it.”
From city streets to open countryside
London's railway network makes it remarkably easy to escape the city. In a short journey you can reach forests, river valleys, rolling hills, historic villages and even the south coast.
The Thames Valley, Chilterns, Surrey, Kent and Sussex all offer excellent walking routes that can be reached from London without a car.
Make the journey part of the experience
Travel is not only about the destination. Walking gives you time to notice the landscape, discover unexpected places and experience an area at a completely different pace.
If you are visiting London, leave some space in your itinerary. Take a train somewhere new, follow a footpath and see where the day takes you.
