Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Westbourne Park’s Slow Ways.

When I walked it, I messed up a little and went along Portobello Road — which was a mistake on a Saturday afternoon. I was pleased to see that it was I that had messed up, and the route was spot-on....

It is now also possible to go from Hansel Road straight onto a new footpath towards Cambridge Road without having to take a zig-zag across Carlton Value....

A short, wiggly and enjoyable walk through some of London's most expensive streets, juxtaposed with some singularly less costly properties....

At the present time (March 2022) there's quite a bit of building work around Paddington Station, and some entrances to the station are closed. But this is a nice enough walk; as other reviewers have noted, it does have a significant flight of steps from Bishop's Bridge Road to the canal, but the diversion mentioned is fine. This route works well with adjacent Slow Ways....
Martin McGovern
An odd one to review as you cannot access Old Oak Common node, yet, and I started by the canal (having just walked Oldkil)....

Pavement walking, suitable for wheelchairs, wide smooth undulating paths away from the busiest of roads....

For a step free route exit the station turn right and right again to join the plotted route, this walk is then suitable for wheel chairs....

The route passes through Notting Hill and the Portobello Road area, very attractive residential areas, there are some interesting shops and cafes on the way. Well worth the time, a full 5 stars from me....
Jane Taylor
A reasonably direct, serviceable, Slow Ways route between two inner London stations, which will get you there with no fuss....
Jane Taylor
The route is all on pavements and is fairly typical in that way of the London Slow Ways routes, but it was one of the more charming I’ve ever walked!...

My favorite part of the route was what felt to me like sneaking off the main road at the Kilburn end and emerging at the Kilburn High Road station!...

I was continuing on from Westbourne Park to Wembley, so I just stayed on the Grand Union Canal and didn’t bother trying to get off it....

- I found it a bit tricky to navigate through Paddington Station, but I followed the signs “to taxis” and then “to grand union canal” and I think that got me where I needed to go....

The Slow Ways network is future proofed and this Slow Ways node will be ready in 2026....

Timing based on brisk walking, no time to pat the dog. At the end need to go down the escalator after the taxi rank at the station....
