Recreational Path Guide: The Capital Ring
The Capital Ring is a 75-mile (120 km) walking route encircling inner London that links the astonishing number of islands of greenery parks, woodlands, abandoned railway lines, towpaths and nature reserves that still survive in the very heart of the city. The Ring takes in many of London's leading attractions for example, the Thames Barrier, Eltham Palace and Richmond Park as well as overlooked gems such as Oxleas Meadows, the Parkland Walk and Abbey Mills Pumping Station, a Victorian extravaganza once known as the 'Temple of Sewage'. This guide, which divides the route into 15 sections, each starting and finishing at a public transport point, is packed with a vast amount of information which will guide walkers to the many and varied treasures that lie along the Ring's route.
