THE BENEFITS OF WALKING

GET OUT AND ENJOY LONDON

If you choose to walk your way around London, you'll discover there are several surprising benefits.

Walking is quicker

Many journeys between Central London Tube stations are quicker by foot than Tube. And half of London car journeys are under two kilometres - just 25 minutes walk - easily within walking distance.

Walking is good for you

It's the nearest thing to perfect exercise – almost as good as exercise at a gym.

It has even been suggested that incidences of coronary heart disease and some cancers have been reduced amongst those who walk regularly.

Walking against Stress

Your well being can be heightened and stress levels lowered by a regular walking habit.

Walking for less cash

When there are no fares to pay more money stays in your pocket.

Walk for a Greener Planet Earth

Strange to think but you can breath in more pollution inside your car than from walking the same route.

If you drive you’ll just put 800g of carbon dioxide into the air - enough to inflate over 60 balloons.

And of course walking is the most sustainable form of transport! So why not join us on our London walks, one of the most Green activities you can do in the capital?

PLANNING YOUR JOURNEY

When planning how long your journey will take, we suggest that you allow 3 minutes for every station you will need to pass through and then add 10 minutes to allow for any travel delays.

CHECK FOR TUBE DELAYS

You can check below to see the most up to date status on the underground system. If you will be joining the tour on a Saturday or Sunday we suggest that you click the "This weekend" link a few days before to check for any planned engineering work that might impact on your journey time.

WANT TO TALK?

If you are unsure of anything or you just want the re-assurance of talking to a real live human, then please feel free to call us during our designated office hours, which are Monday to Friday 10.30am to 4pm.
