London Outer Orbital Path, signed walk along public footpaths
Description
The London Outer Orbital Path is a long-distance trail that circles the outer edge of London, connecting several boroughs through a continuous route. The path passes through parks, green spaces, and woodlands that sit beyond the city's inner core.
History
The route was developed over time as a way to offer walkers a circular path around London's expanding outer areas. It came together through linking existing paths and creating new sections to form a complete loop.
Practical
The trail requires solid walking experience and good physical fitness because of its length. It is best walked in stages over multiple days, and navigation tools or apps help keep you on course.
Did you know?
Many walkers are surprised to discover that the trail passes through lesser-known neighborhoods and hidden green spaces that are not visible from typical tourist routes. These quieter areas reveal a different side of London far from the usual crowds.
