  • To Download Capital Challenge 2017 Route Description
    The Inaugural Capital Challenge Saturday 1 st April 2017 START Riverfront Cafe. British Film Institute under Waterloo Bridge TQ308804 Registration Open 08:00 to 09:00 FINISH View Tube Cafe Greenway TQ378838 Open 14:00 to 19:00 Total Distance 27.6 miles Over 40% of London consists of parks and gardens open to the public and with 8.3 million trees there are almost as many as there are people. The walk will allow you to enjoy the biodiversity (and diversity) of this vibrant city and for much of the time you may not even see a car. Not only will you get near to some of the big sights but also lots of lesser attractions that most tourists never get to see. The walk is full of little surprises. Not only will this walk challenge your feet but hopefully your perception of London as well. Of course if it rains you are never too far away from a cafe/pub. Just don’t spend too long there. There is a time limit – finish by 7 p.m.. Practicalities There are plenty of toilets (indicated in route description). Many are free. However it is useful to have a few small coins to hand, especially for the central London area. Toilets get cheaper as the walk progresses so make full use of BFI facilities. There are also several drinking fountains which provide good artesian water. You may want to carry some food and snacks to save time but you are unlikely to starve. A torch is essential especially as the later stages of the walk are along canals.
