The 'Ferryman's seat', a worn stone slab incorporated into a much newer building, has an uncertain origin. But it's a reminder that before London's bridges were built, small boats across the Thames were a vital parts of the city's transport network footways.london/rail-heritage-…

Huge thanks to the TfL walking action plan team, Footways, Ramblers Walking for Health and LondonLivingStreets for laying on a great walking trip along part of the recently opened Green Link Walk for London Assembly members. So important that walking is taken seriously with routes like this.

#LoveLondonWalkLondon had a sunny afternoon stroll along some of the #GreenLinkWalk with the lovely folk from TfL Footways Caroline Russell & London In 360 (gotta love them orange trainers!)

This is such excellent news!

Many thanks to TfL and Footways for organising the walk through the City from Clerkenwell Green (Islington) to Tate Modern (Southwark). A tiny part of the brilliant Green Link Walk tfl.gov.uk/modes/walking/…

From the Paddington Central development north of the station, cross the canal via this footbridge, then dive beneath the Westway through a pedestrian subway, to emerge close to Paddington Green – once the Paddington area's historical village centre footways.london/westminster

As you pass the reconstructed Globe Theatre on our Rail & Heritage Loop, contemplate how this area has come full circle: from Elizabethan theatre district, to crowded 19th-century warren of wharves and warehouses, and finally back to cultural destination footways.london/rail-heritage-…

Ever wondered how the Walk London routes are created? We recently explored a section of the #GreenLink and David talked about how the concept of the route was born and delivered as London's newest walking route. footways.london/the-green-link

As you walk from St James's Park to Victoria Station, contemplate that this glimpse of Westminster Cathedral did not exist before 2006, when Cardinal Place shopping centre opened up new walking routes through what had been an impenetrable office block footways.london/westminster

🍁 Leaning into London’s Autumnal vibes with a healthy dose of nature connection whilst bouncing along on our daily walks. What have you noticed this week? Anything we should keep our eyes out for? You can’t say rain! 😉

Thanks to the Elizabeth Line, Farringdon station is now the UK's ninth-busiest, with shiny new exits a quarter of a mile apart and in different boroughs. But this is where it all began: the original engine shed from 1865 is behind this 1922 frontage footways.london/rail-heritage-…
