THE RIVER RAVENSBOURNE
DISTANCE: 2.3 MILES This pleasant walk, which is entirely along canal towpaths, forms the second leg of the Jubilee Greenway, a 37-mile route around the north of London. You follow the Grand Union Canal as it turns into the Regent’s Canal, and finish at Camden Lock. A large section of this walk is also along the north side of Regent’s Park with its neat landscaping and pristine lawns. Camden marks the end of the ramble but leave time to wander around its market and find a bargain. Get Directions THE JUBILEE GREENWAY (LITTLE VENICE TO CAMDEN LOCK STRETCH)
(CATFORD TO THE THAMES)
DISTANCE: 4.2 MILES If you fancy a river-side stroll, this stretch of Waterlink Way is worth a try. Start at Catford Bridge Station and finish at the River Thames at Greenwich. The River Ravensbourne flows through parkland and open concrete chutes as it weaves through south London. However, over the past few decades, some of these chutes have been removed to allow the river to flow through a more natural environment and wildlife to return – so expect the best of both worlds.
