Great to see the #CapitalRing and #GreenChainWalk getting some love from TfL in The Metro yesterday. It’s a brilliant time of year to get out and explore London on foot!

Chislehurst to Bexley, a chilly morning gives way to a warmer afternoon in South London. April 26 #LondonLoop @photohour.bsky.social

#LondonLoop volunteers Alan and Neil were recently out on Section 9. Neil is an award-winning litter picker honoured with Environment Champion award. They reported remarkably little litter except for a buildup towards the end of the section along the A30 towards Hatton Cross. Thank you both!

Huge thanks to volunteers Keith and George who installed another post today off Bogey Lane on Section 3 of the #LondonLoop - as well as fitting discs to the newish support rail alongside the steps up to the field alongside the lane. The route just got a little bit easier for everyone to follow!

Addington Hills #fingerpostfriday #trees #woodland #treeclub #londonloop @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social

Up early today and off to do quite a long section of @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social - Moor Park to Borehamwood

Pleased to hear from a group who walked it on Friday that the riverside route of the #CapitalRing Section 15 is open again! Repairs to the King George V lock gates are finished & they were able to complete the #CapitalRing via the riverside route. Northern foot tunnel lift still out of order tho’.

Ramblers volunteers made more improvements to the #LondonLoop recently - 2 new posts added on Section 4 in the Addington Hills making it easier to navigate. They were funded by Inner London Ramblers, South Bank Ramblers and the London LDWA group. Thanks to all involved.

It's taken me far too long but I've finally got around to writing up my thoughts on Section 2 of the Loop: open.substack.com/pub/nikmorti.... The more I've thought about it, the more I enjoyed this section. Section 3 has a lot to live up to!

Pleased to share that our volunteers' persistence has resulted in Bexley Council installing these handrails on both sides of the flight of steps from Hall Place in Bexley up to the A2 on Section 1 of the #LondonLoop. You can see what it looked like in 2024 in the 2nd photo. Thanks to all involved!

in what feels like record time, here's my writeup on Section 4 of the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social, a really enjoyable ramble through some stunning countryside and breathtaking views: open.substack.com/pub/nikmorti...

The video doesn’t do it justice but the view was incredible. Wembley Stadium, Canary Wharf, the Shard and so much more were on display. Gorgeous stuff, reminds me why I love this city so much.

So happy that I took advantage of the break in the weather to tick off Section 4 of the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social, a delightfully muddy ramble from West Wickham Common to Hamsey Green. So much to love about the route but the view from Addington Hills were the standout, all of London was visible!

Great to hear London’s #CapitalRing get a mention on #BBCRadio4 #Ramblings with @sutchfun.bsky.social - excellent episode! @gojauntly.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Thursday trail run via Keston and out towards Addington #running #Londonloop #trailrunning #Kestonponds

Crystal Palace to Wimbledon via Streatham today, and that's the #CapitalRing finished, a year and three weeks after I first started the #LondonLoop. The latter definitely the better of the two. Not sure what's next, but it'd better involve a lot more pubs.

I was pleased to get this @gojauntly.bsky.social notification the other day when I hit the 250k mark in the Walk 2026k in 2026 Challenge #LondonLoop

I must get better at not leaving it so long between walking and writing about the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social. Regardless, here are my thoughts on Section 3 of the London Loop, a 16km ramble from Petts Wood to West Wickham Common. open.substack.com/pub/nikmorti...

Trust me, I did do some walking between Harrow & Hendon yesterday #capitalring

As I stood amongst the trees, quiet as a mouse, the silence was occasionally broken by the trilling of what I took to be a blackbird. medium.com/globetrotter... #WritingCommunity #travel #photography #CapitalRingWalk #creativity #culture #diversity #CapitalRing #creativewriting #London #walking

A lovely wintry ramble around Section 3 of the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social today and not nearly as muddy as I’d feared. The route is a mix of gorgeous villages I’ll never afford to live in and some stunning woodlands made this an afternoon well spent.

Happy new year from the team behind the Ramblers #LondonLoop #CapitalRing and #GreenChainWalk project - we’re looking forward to continuing our work as volunteers, making improvements to waymarking, keeping route guidance up to date & highlighting diversions etc. in 2026.

I thought it'd be fun to document my thoughts on the London Loop as I'm walking it, something I wish I'd done when I walked the Capital Ring last year. It's been a while since I flexed my creative muscles, really enjoyed writing this. nikmortimer.substack.com/p/london-loo...

#CapitalRing & #GreenChainWalk at entrance to Eltham Palace.

A fair chunk of both #CapitalRing section 14 and the DLR seem to be closed, and the detours have turned more into a Hammers-themed one-man pub crawl than anything else. So, all in all, a resounding success.

Our project coordinators met up last night to talk project progress & next steps - and I was particularly struck by the staggering 637,480 hits we’ve had to our #CapitalRing route guidance web pages since we redrafted all the instructions and redid the maps. That’s a lot of walking, London!!!🚶 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️

Just a reminder that we keep our website updated with hazards, diversions, floods etc on the #LondonLoop #CapitalRing and #GreenChainWalk - especially in the winter months (although we don’t comment on regular mud, just because). Keep an eye-out here www.innerlondonramblers.org.uk/articles-623...

Went to the Mayfield Lavender Field (so fieldy the named it twice!) Surprised at the lack of Instagrammers and Tiktokers out today. I heard they love this place. #LondonLOOP #LondonLOOPSection6 #MayfieldLavenderField

I completed the LOOP with a work colleague when I retired - one section a month. I did get a sense of achievement when completed. Since then I have only cherry-picked parts of the route. Good luck with the rest of the circuit, Greg. 🎖️

Off hiking today. London LOOP sections 6 and 7. See you soon, Coulsdon. #LondonLOOP @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social

After a longer than intended break, I ticked off Section 2 of the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social this afternoon. A gorgeous but very muddy Autumnal ramble from Old Bexley to Petts Wood. Some absolutely stunning scenery, Five Points Bridge & the William Willet memorial sundial were the standouts.

Thanks to our local #CapitalRing volunteer and Friends of Horsenden Hill for their work to keep the route thru Paradise Fields, Greenford, open and dry via an ingenious “beaver deceiver”. innerlondonramblers.org.uk/articles-623...

If you're walking the #CapitalRing at the moment, please be aware of a closure of the Parkland Walk between Crouch Hill and Blythwood Road from 24 November to 6 February inclusive (Section 12). Our website offers an alternative route. www.innerlondonramblers.org.uk/articles-623...

We have three walks this Saturday, perfect for getting autumn off the best foot. www.metropolitan-walkers.org.uk #ramblersgb #walking #hiking #greenchainwalk #erith #mottingham #mitford #thursleycommon #farnham #shelford #cambridge #fleamdyke

Our volunteers have worked with Croydon Council to get some new signage installed / replaced / fixed on Section 4 of the #LondonLoop - and to add waymark discs to new posts from our stocks. Great to see these newly installed posts and signs in place making the route easier for everyone to follow.

Enfield Council has opened a new path between Rectory Farm Road & Hilly Fields, with signs along the river on Section 17 of the #LondonLoop. Our volunteers have rewalked Section 17 and we’ve published an adaptation to our route guidance. innerlondonramblers.org.uk/articles-623...

Hendon Central to Stoke Newington with my good friend Tim. A drink in the Boogaloo, lunch in Kampai! & a Guinness in the Auld Shillelagh to finish #capitalring

It’s been a nice autumn day out on the #LondonLoop and Hogsmill River Walk from Ewell to Kingston today.

Great to have lunch on the Nicky Hopkins memorial bench on my walk from Richmond to Sudbury Hill. Must confess I don’t know all the tracks he played on here. London, you were beautiful today #capitalring

Pictures from the first part of day 3 walking the London Loop back in January. Started at Bexley on a frosty, low light kind of day. But it was a beautiful start to a walk which began alongside the River Cray. #londonloop #britishceramicsbiennial #londonwalking
