Evening Walk: Stanmore Circular Walk -- Undulating Country Parks and London Views

SWC Short 56: Stanmore Circular Walk with Undulating Country Parks and London Views T=short.56

Distance: Approximately 5.4-6 miles or 8.7-10 km for those more metrically minded

Time: 2 1/4 hours

Meet: 18:45 outside the Stanmore Tube Station (northern terminus of the Jubilee Line -- 28 minutes from Baker Street -- possible to shorten by using Met Line to Wembley).

This relatively new addition to our evening repertoire has only been done once and explores the leafy undulating country parks in Stanmore at the end of the Jubilee Line. It explores 3 large Nature Reserves and Commons. Both short and long cuts are available to adjust the length of the route. More information about the route can be found here.

Post walk bevies are available at a couple of local hostelries with the Everest Abercorn getting fine reviews last year!

At first it seemed it would be a select group of just 3 on this walk in the hinterlands of the western terminus of the Jubilee line -- but we were soon joined by a local and received a text from an approaching late comer. The 4 assembled set off slowly and were quickly caught up by not 1 but 2 late comers and met by yet another near the entrance to the country park, making for n=7 in total on this enjoyable evening stroll around extensive parkland. I had never been to this area and found the route very enjoyable through varied landscapes of open parkland, woods and water features with some fine views across London and further south to the North Downs. We all stopped for some al fresco dining or drinks near the end on a w=fine-summer-evening.
