London on foot: four self-guided walks.
Four walks through different parts of London, each a real route with a map you can print, directions between stops and a source linked for every fact. Or open Strolio in London and it builds a walk from wherever you are, for the time you have.

Westminster
From Trafalgar Square down Whitehall to Big Ben and the Abbey, then through St James's Park to Buckingham Palace.
Soho and Covent Garden
Carnaby Street, the John Snow pump, Chinatown, Seven Dials and the actors' church.
Greenwich
From the Cutty Sark through Wren's naval college and past the Queen's House, then up the park to the view from General Wolfe's statue.
How these walks are checked
Every fact on these pages comes from a source we opened and link to, such as heritage registers, city archives, museum sites and Wikipedia. Each page was then checked again, sentence by sentence, by someone who did not write it. See how we check stories →
