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.

I enjoyed this route! It was super varied. For me, highlights included walking through the beautiful arches of Henry Prince Estate (where the mayor of London Sadiq Khan was born) and across the lovely river Wandle. Having grown up in the area, I didn't know there was a path that linked the estate to the wandle. I also liked the hustle and bustle. Like the other reviewers have said, there are lots of amenities on either end.

Enjoyed this route due to the variety of London hustle and bustle, quiet residential streets, and walking through parks. It can get really busy and noisy at parts, but they aren't very long and it was a great way to get a glimpse of what's in this area. Good amenities at either end of the route.

Public toilets available at the public library just around the corner from Putney station.

From Earlsfield the route soon left a busy main road, to pass through nice arches, under some housing, and then across a pleasant footbridge over the pretty River Wandle. There was a cycle barrier here. It continued along the Wandle Trail although we didn’t see the Wandle for trees, but walked along the edge of a park, sun-scorched from the heatwave at the time. The series of streets through Wandsworth were often busy but interesting, with an inviting-looking pub and cinema, and a fairy-tale house. There was a traffic-free bridge over the railway with walls we could see over (just, if you’re short) to view the piers of a disappeared railway bridge. Then a residential street led to the busy Putney meeting point at the station.

I walked from Earlsfield to Putney.
A urban walk with not a lot of shade on a hot day. Quite a variety of architecture (and an estate Sadiq Khan grew up on, I am reliably informed). A cool River Wandle. Busy parts but generally along quieter roads and cycle paths.
Agree with previous reviewers, a very pleasant walk.

Route which makes excellent use of a string of parks which contrasts with the short sections of busy road. Follows the Wandle Trail (but is not distracted by it). Stops and shops at either end as well is Wandsworth. Direct, safe and very easy to follow. Full marks.

I walked this route from Earlsfield to Putney. There's a lot about it that's quite lovely:

- The Earlsfield High Street is really nice, with plenty of shops and restaurants to keep you occupied and entertained.
- The route largely follows the Wandle Trail between Earslfield and Wandsworth, which means you'll follow a gorgeous series of excellent parks.
- The stretches from Wandsworth to Putney along quieter back streets were excellent, with a cool view over the rail lines halfway to Putney.

I've only dinged it a star because the roads around Wandsworth are totally unpleasant to walk among (they're just loud, busy, and polluted; they are safe to walk and easy to navigate). I'd love to see an improvement there, but overall this is an excellent route I'd totally recommend. I really enjoyed walking it!.

Nice route away from roads through King George's Park to Wandsworth, then using quiet residential streets to Putney.

Good route making use of quiet residential streets between Putney and Wandsworth, and staying with the lit 24/7 section of King George's Park between Wandsworth and Earlsfield. Would recommend.
