Introduction

Lovely way to start the day! Hyde Park

Every working day, I commute 40 minutes on the Piccadilly Line from North London all the way up to Hammersmith in West London. I was getting so bored of it, that I tied my walking into my commute and reduced my tube journey by skipping the Green Park – Hammersmith bit and trade the Piccadilly Line for the Victoria Line.

I’m not keen on cycling in London but to reduce my walking journey and make my walk a daily achievable goal, I rent a Barclay Bike in Green Park and then cycle through Hyde Park (which is already half the distance) and then walk/run the bit between Kensington and Hammersmith.

When I feel like shopping, I just pass through Kensington High Street on my way to Hyde Park, lovely!

Hammersmith Bridge

West London is ideal for commute runs, as it has very broad pavements on the main roads and many quiet side roads, which give you some space as a runner without hampering other people.  Find below 2 winter routes of 3.5km or 2.2mi that can be done as well before as after sunset, one in Hammersmith and one route from Gloucester Road to Hammersmith.
