Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

This was a perfectly nice, mainly suburban walk through London. The route is passes through Alexandra Park which is lovely.

Very enjoyable , mainly on pavements with a long section through the park and a shorter section through some very beautiful and unexpected woods. It was well connected to public transport links. A great route .

I walked this route from Finchley Central to Wood Green. It's a perfectly good route, accessible and safe. It could be more direct, but it's indirect to get you through Alexandra Park, which is a highlight of the walk.

Coldfall Wood is another stand out, a lovely bit that breaks up otherwise long bits of suburban street walking.

Can't really fault the walk, it's perfectly nice, just not all thaaat stunning apart from the few parks it manages to go through.

I walked this from Finchley to Wood Green. It's mostly urban pavement walking, with some lovely sections through muddy Coldwall Wood, and along a windy section through Alexandra Park.
