Description
This route connects Holborn to Liverpool Street Station; the aim is to have a Slow Ways route that (as far as possible) uses the quieter back roads, is (as far as possible) direct, and is accessible to all, i.e. step free.
One notable feature is that between the London Museum and Moorgate the route uses the Highwalk, a raised pedestrian walkway through part of the Barbican estate. Access is via lifts (Photo), with stairs or escalator as alternative options. The Highwalk gives a good view of the excavated Roman city wall. (Photo)
Other highlights of this walk include Lincoln's Inn Fields, Leather Lane market, Hatton Garden jewellery district, Farringdon station, Smithfield Market and Finsbury Circus Gardens

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.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
