Thanks to Jonathan (jonmoore) for planning for this walk! This event was great success before. As the days are getting shorter, we may not complete the full route therefore please allow for different start and end points. As we are in London I'm sure this won't be a problem =)
A leisurely 11km circular stroll around four of London's Royal Parks: Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St James' Park and on to Christmas.
We'll endeavour to see all the sights along the way, including including The Italian Fountains, Kensington Palace, The Albert Memorial, The Albert Hall, The Serpentine Gallery, The Serpentine, The Diana Memorial Fountain, The Rose Garden, Hyde Park Corner, The War Memorials, The Wellington Arch, 1 London, Buckingham Palace, Horseguards' Parade, The Serpentine Magazine Gallery and the Peter Pan statue.
There are plenty of cafes, coffee stalls and ice cream opportunities on the way around.
If you need to cut the walk short, there are plenty of options to do so and find public transport connections (pretty much at any point), but if you stay the whole route then we can head to Comptons for the Christmas Social afterwards.
What to bring
Shoes that you can walk comfortably in for a long distance. I suggest always packing a waterproof jacket, even in good weather forecast.
Food & drink
There will be opportunities to get a drink or snack on the way around but if possible please pack some, this will allow us a faster pace.
