Go Green Link - a brand new walking route for London
The brand new Green Link walk is a 15-mile walking and wheeling route which will run from Epping Forest to Peckham through four boroughs: Waltham Forest, Hackney Islington, Southwark – and the City of London. It is the eighth route to be included in the Walk London Network and links almost 40 areas of green space as well as other Walk London routes.
The route has been designed with accessibility in mind and connects communities with green spaces including Walthamstow Marshes, London Fields and Burgess Park as well as five other Walk London routes. Enjoy this route and others available on the Go Jauntly app. The Capital Ring, Green Chain, Jubilee Greenway, Jubilee Walkway, Lea Valley, London Outer Orbital Path, and the Thames Path.
The Go Jauntly app breaks the Green Link route down into 4 smaller sections so that you can do the walk in stages. We highlight points of interest as well as the twelve Local Buyers Club businesses on the Walk.
