caption_attribution_description: A sign marking a public footpath on the London LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) route. Credits I took this photo myself and I'm releasing it into the public domain. After all, I didn't design the sign or the logo, so it seems morally wrong for me to claim any rights to its likeness. en:Category:Images of England
context_page_description: Walking is a popular recreational activity in London, despite traffic congestion. There are many areas that provide space for interesting walks, including commons, parks, canals, and disused railway tracks. This includes Wimbledon Common, Epping Forest, Hampstead Heath, and the eight Royal Parks: Hyde Park, Regent's Park, Richmond Park, etc. In recent years access to canals and rivers, including the Regent's Canal, and the River Thames has been greatly improved, and as well a number of long-distance walking routes have been created that link green spaces.
context_section_description: A 150-mile (240 km) circular signed walk, in 24 sections, along public footpaths, and through parks, woods and fields around the edge of Outer London. The route does not form a complete circle because the Thames cannot be a crossed between Purfleet and Erith.
