Day Ten: Warning: This Kind of Thing Could be Addictive
Dawn on the last day of our journey and I’m staring out the window into a tarnished silver mirror that is the Thames estuary. It is a perfect day for a walk..
Day Nine: We Cross the Border into Picturesque
It has taken a week of walking from Greenwich to reach a place that knows for sure that it is picturesque.
Day Seven: We all need a bit of salvation – even the tomatoes
According to legend, the last bear who fought here was killed, shaved and eaten by the local yobboes
Day Five: The Benefits of Slow Travel
You might think the closest thing to birdlife here is Canary Wharf…
Day Four: You Have to Walk a Place to Understand it
We enter a strange landscape where a Porsche dealer is neighbour to a strip of woodland filled with rubbish: a duvet hangs in a tree, a tiny vole lies dead on the cycle path.
Day Three: Authentic Wicked Bunny Hops
Just after dawn I peer out the window of the working men’s hostel where we are staying on the Isle of Dogs and see a fox, a squirrel and a crow disputing the contents of a rubbish bin.
Day Two: Into the Melting Pot – Tower Hamlets
If yesterday was all trees and lovely riverside views, today promises to be very different.
Day One: Magnificent Bananas. The Walk Begins at Kew Gardens
You can’t walk down a London street carrying a seven-metre tall flag without drawing attention.
