SWC 374: Kings Cross to Liverpool Street via 13 stations walk (Part 2)
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 outing is the sequential section of the walk
from last Thursday. We will be picking up where we left off at Paddington
Station and will hopefully manage to make it to Charing Cross. The route passes through the Royal Parks and Belgravia.
Outdoor pubs will now be open – so perhaps we
will find a watering hole near the end. If that fails, there is always the old
standby of procuring provisions from a local shop for post walk refreshies….
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!

Love the pre-booking at https://www.lwug.co.uk - so simple!
Eight (many the same from last week's part 1 of this walk) surfaced in Paddington for the second stage of this walk through London visiting its terminus train stations in rather w=brisk-but-clear-conditions. The route took us through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park which were teaming with signs of spring -- swans sitting on immaculate nests (definitely serious engineers) and three broods of adorable Egyptian Geese. We also passed by Buckingham Palace and through St. James Park before arriving at our destination of Charing Cross. We picked up one more just outside Paddington and met one other who had unfortunately missed us at Paddington towards the end of the walk, making for n=10. Finding the local outside hostelries a bit crowded, some of us enjoyed post walk bevies at a very comfortable and sheltered sitting area near the exit of Charing Cross.
