Walks you can reach from West Brompton by train

Way-marked trail through the Ver and Colne Valleys and linking all seven Abbey Line stations — can be done end-to-end or as individual sections with a train hop back.

Warnings: Sections can become waterlogged after heavy rain, sometimes without obvious alternative routes.

Walk details: the Abbey Line Community Rail Partnership (PDF).

Recommended: Great views of the City. An exceptionally green urban route, almost entirely through parks and open spaces — Alexandra Park, the Parkland Walk with great city views, Highgate Wood and Hampstead Heath — with only short residential-street sections. Excellent paths with lots of shade.

Woodland: a third under tree cover.

The Hampstead Heath: A sprawling ancient heath above London with bathing ponds and Parliament Hill views.

Time: 2h–4h

Warnings: A fifth urban.

Walk details: Slow Ways.
