On the contrary, London has a vast number of fantastic paths and trails; from green open spaces to city strolls &#8211; there\u2019s a lot of variety on your doorstep!<\/p>\n<p>We have chosen our favourite 15 walks in London to help you get out and explore the city\u2026..<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. Jubilee Greenway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Created to celebrate the Queen\u2019s diamond jubilee, this path is 60 kilometres long &#8211; a kilometre for each year of her reign. The route is well marked with 542 distinctive glass plaques to observe as it takes you through the major sites of the London 2012 Olympics. As a circular walk, you could start and finish from any point along the way. However, the traditional version starts at Buckingham Palace and heads west into Hyde Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Highlights:<\/em><\/strong> Olympic Park, Little Venice and Buckingham Palace<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.
