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.

This is a reasonable route that I've walked on several occasions, but never on purpose. It's a busy traffic route, but it's short, so manageable. A little better would be to walk past Olympia and use Sinclair Road/Richmond Road on the western side, and to walk on the north side of KHR.

Going along Holland Walk instead would also improve this.

This route is okay, but not my favourite. I walked it from Shepherds Bush, and it's certainly direct, but not particularly pleasant (it's loud, stinky, and polluted!). The pavements are wide and flat, so it's not entirely unpleasant, and there are some moments of joy to be had - especially after the route turns onto Kensington High Street. I'll see if I can upload an alternative that's slightly better.

This route is a direct route but unfortunately following a very busy road. Very high levels of pollution on a hot day . I walked down the wrong road but was easily able to rejoin the route. The route will be very busy past the museums in the summer and could pose access issues.
