Evening Walk: London train terminus stations (Paddington to
Charing Cross)
Distance: Approximately
4.4 miles or 7.2 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: At the entrance to “The Lawn”
inside Paddington Station at 18:30
Return: Charing
Cross – mainline and tube
This walk is part of a trilogy of walks through
London passing by each of its terminus stations. Earlier in the winter, we did
the section from Charing Cross to Liverpool Street (or London Bridge for some
of us). Tonight, we will do the preceding section from Paddington to Charing
Cross. Please note, however, that we
will need to modify the route slightly by going through Hyde Park rather than
Kensington Gardens which still closes too early for our purposes!
More information about the route can be found here. Please bring a printout of the
instructions (not just the GPX) as there is a lot of background information
within the walk notes.
Enjoy the walk!

7 assembled at the appointed place, including 1 first timer. After paying our respects to the station's namesake, we set off into the night along the designated route with a slight diversion into Hyde Park. In the park, we were treated to a w=bright-moon and a fine alignment of Jupiter and Mars. While admiring these celestial delights, a late starter found us, making for n=8. We carried on through Belgravia and Victoria then St. James Park where the daffs were out in force. Nearing Charing Cross, 5 peeled off to a pub for drinks/food and 3 went straight to the station. A fun and interesting night out!
