A new fifteen-mile walking route stretching from Peckham to Epping Forest in north London has been launched by Transport for London (TfL).
The Green Link Walk connects almost 40 areas of green space, including Walthamstow Marshes, London Fields and Burgess Park, and five other Walk London routes.
The new route has been created to increase leisure walking in London and improve Londoners’ health and wellbeing by easing their access to nature.
Since the pandemic, London has seen a 10 per cent increase in leisure walking, according to TfL’s Leisure Walking Plan.
Christina Calderato, TfL’s Director of Strategy and Policy said: “London is already a great city to explore on foot and this new route will encourage Londoners to enjoy more of our beautiful green spaces across the capital.
“Leisure walking has a vital role to play in the health of everyone living in London and we’ll continue to work with our partners to ensure everyone has access to high-quality walking infrastructure.”
