Getting to know the city through its parks and open spaces

Park to Park is a series of walks through London exploring and connecting its parks and green places.

This exploration of the metropolis is coordinated by Tim Ingram-Smith who co-founded the London Spiral, together with well-known walking creative Andrew Stuck of Walk-Listen-Create.

Each walk is a 5 mile journey across the expanse of London, threading a line through gardens, woods and fields, across public and private land. It’s about exercise and fresh air, geography and urban design, plants and birds, water, clay and chalk, and open space and recreation.

The walk is intended for anyone who has an interest in the wider expanse of London, who wants to see and experience the range and diversity of the city through its parks and on the ground.

Walks take place on the second Sunday of every month. Join us for a Sunday constitutional and take in half a dozen or so parks, squares, gardens, woods and nature reserves.
