Jubilee Greenway, Walking and cycling route in London, England
The Jubilee Greenway is a walking route stretching about 35 miles through London, connecting many of the city's best-known parks and landmarks. Beginning near Buckingham Palace, the path passes through Green Park, Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens before continuing along waterways like Regent's Canal and the Thames, eventually crossing Tower Bridge and looping back toward Westminster.
The route was created in 2012 to commemorate the Queen's 60 years on the throne and showcase London's growth over centuries. It connects public green spaces and historic landmarks that have been maintained and cared for through time, reflecting the city's long heritage.
The Greenway connects spaces where Londoners gather to spend free time and where different communities meet. Parks like Regent's Park and Hyde Park serve as places for picnics, boating, and watching events, while the canal paths offer quieter spots where you can observe boats and barges moving through the water.
The route is mainly designed for walking, though many sections can also be cycled, with several cafes along the way where you can rest and grab refreshments. The path is marked with distinctive pavement slabs, making it easy to follow regardless of where you start or end your journey.
Along the route, you can spot resident pelicans in St James's Park, a delightful surprise for many visitors who do not expect to see such birds in the city. These elegant birds have lived in the royal park for centuries and offer one of the most memorable moments during your walk.
