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.

02 Sep 2022A fairly direct route which follows some busy roads for the majority of it. However you are also able to go through the edges of some parks which improves it somewhat.
I have suggest WATKEN Two as a slightly longer but maybe quieter alternative.

06 May 2022I walked this route from Kennington to Waterloo. Despite the fact that it sticks largely to main roads, I was very very pleased!
I diverted into Kennington Park, which is always lovely. The stretch to the Imperial War Museum was actually quite good, as there are lots of shops, pubs, and interesting buildings to see along the way. I stopped by the museum, which broke up the route nicely and was a great addition to the day.
Finally, the urban wandering on approach to Waterloo Station was really great - it was great to be so close to Waterloo Station but not really be able to tell! And then you emerge, and the station is right there.
I enjoyed this route a lot.

03 Sep 2021This is a very direct, main road connection from Waterloo to Kennington. There are limited other options but I feels there must be a better, if slightly longer route.
