I’ve had lots of generous feedback on my Capital Ring posts, for which I’m very grateful. If you’ve enjoyed reading my words and looking at my pictures, I hope it inspires you to get out and try it yourself. It’s a fascinating trek around London, and I guarantee it’ll introduce you to new places you’ve […]

Capital Ring 10: Olympic Park to Charlton
And now, the end is near… well, not all that near, as it happened. There were still a good 10 miles to go on the Capital Ring as a I hopped off the 108 at Stratford High Street. All around, the changes to E15 as 2012 approaches were apparent, as builders worked on creating approaches […]

Capital Ring 8: West Hendon to Stoke Newington
Most of my past Capital Ring wanderings seemed to make some kind of geographic sense to me. I can place Wandsworth on a map and know that if I keep going in one direction I’ll get to Wimbledon, and so on. Sure, getting there from Crystal Palace confused me a little bit, but that was […]

Capital Ring 7: Harrow-on-the-Hill to west Hendon
It’s been a long time… um, since I actually did this walk. Well, about three months – after which I spent six weeks mostly travelling, and then over a month, er, forgetting to post this. But I’m digging my walking shoes out this week to have a pop at completing the Capital Ring, so it’s […]

Capital Ring 6: Hanwell to Harrow on the Hill

I joined them together because they were both fairly short, largely unexciting, and because two posts about how Ealing Council clearly can’t be arsed to look after its […]

Capital Ring 5: Richmond to Hanwell
Hooray! Walking shoes back on to pick up my round-London trip on the Capital Ring once again, after a break for holidays, a couple of weeks where I didn’t have many evenings free, and a few other issues. It was good to be out and about again, and this stretch was completely new territory for […]

Capital Ring 4: Wandsworth Prison to Richmond
A shooting had truncated my last stroll along the Capital Ring, but picking up the route again at Wandsworth Prison meant I was able to enjoy one of the greenest sections of route so far, moving from city commons to the surprising sight of having my path blocked by a grazing cow. I wasn’t expecting […]

Capital Ring part 3: Crystal Palace to Wandsworth Common
Here’s a weird one for me to get my head around – taking one bus from near my house, going for a walk, and ending up across the other side of south London, on Wandsworth Common. That’s what happened to me on the mental map-bending third leg of my Capital Ring walk. With my “proper” […]
