Walking around Central London is often just as quick as winding your way down all the tunnels of the Tube, or sitting in a taxi, plus you get to see more, with lovely strolls such as the route from Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, past Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace and across Green Park to Piccadilly. If that inspires you to go further, then hit some of the nation’s best walking trails. You could try some of the 4,500km England Coast Path, wind along the famous Hadrian’s Wall, or take the Pennine Way.
