SWC 374: London train terminus stations – Part I (Kings
Cross to Victoria)
Distance: Approximately
5.5 miles or 9 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: In the plaza in front of King’s
Cross Station at 18:30
Return: Victoria
(mainline/tube)
This route is a segment of a new walk visiting
each of the 13 London train terminus stations. With the walks recommencing,
thought it would be interesting to see from where they will start…We will
hopefully manage the first segment to Paddington plus part of the second
segment to Victoria. A subsequent evening walk will cover the second half of
the walk from Victoria to Liverpool Street.
Unsure about refreshments on route….though, I
would guess we could pick up some supplies and enjoy an al fresco drink,
somewhere in Hyde Park….towards the end of the walk…
More information about the route can be found here. Please bring a print out of the
instructions (not just the GPX) as there is a lot of background information
within the walk notes.
Enjoy the walk!
It is expected to walk in groups of six and provide contact details. To facilitate the collection of contact details, please pre-register for this walk on the "events" page at https://www.lwug.co.uk/. You will need to first sign-on and possibly register if you have not previously registered on the site.

Let us all give thanks:the SWC is back. Thank you to the walk setters for this explosion of activity!
Seven assembled at the appointed place and set off in smaller groups within sight to explore Kings Cross and St P....we were joined by another along the route which passed through and by familiar sights in central London, including Regent's Park....Having spent some time at St. Ps and getting distracted buying some Indian street food on Drummond St....we decided to end the walk about 8pm at some picnic tables near Paddington basin to enjoy some refreshments (and the tasty Indian snacks). I learned later that one other late arrival did the walk as far as Baker Street....So, n=9 in w=chilly-breezy-conditions.
On Thursday, we will pick up the walk at Paddington....
