The London Loop

Published 22 February 2001
The London LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) is the newly created network of footpaths around the periphery of the capital. It is the result of 10 years' work by the London Walking Forum to devise a route encompassing some of the glorious countryside that lies within easy reach of the heart of London. This new Recreational Path Guide divides the London LOOP into 15 convenient sections, illustrated throughout with full-color photographs and maps, specially prepared by the Ordnance Survey. The sections represent day walks of reasonable length, each starting and finishing at a public transport point; the author also suggests points at which the walks can be broken down into shorter sections by getting back on a train or bus. Key sites along the route are numbered in the text and on the maps for easy identification.
