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.

21 Aug 2022(Reposting my review from Hamcam one because this is the route I ended up actually walking) I’d generally say the route as “fine but rather uninspiring”. I walked from Hampstead Heath to Camden Town.
The route was perfectly navigable, entirely paved, and completely safe. It was a bit zig-zaggy and I think it could be made more direct, too. (For example, instead of turning onto Prince of Wales road, the route could just stick to Haverstock Hill and make a straight shot for Camden Town!).

25 Jun 2022A good urban walk avoiding busy roads and going through some parks. I did cheat and shortcutted through the park near Castlehaven, and I would probably have drawn the route through there. It's not a big enough issue to make a Hamcam three though.

13 Jun 2022Good urban route which carefully steps it’s way in zig zags round the obvious, direct, and very busy A502. Enjoyed a drink at Camden Town and a coffee at Hampstead Heath.
Good pavement and footpath surfaces throughout.
Bike barriers on the path between Parkhill Road and Southampton Road.

12 Apr 2022A really enjoyable stroll between Camden and Hampstead Heath. All pretty straightforward. Diverting through Camden Gardens is a nice early touch. Packed with interest historically, blue plaques for former residents (I probably should have read up beforehand!) and musically, passing a number of famous venues. Uses green spaces and alleyways successfully. Nearly all pavement, and is wheelchair accessible.
