Meeting Point: Victoria station at 1.15 pm - main concourse for South Eastern services by main arch and Visitor Centre (with garish pink sign), opposite Platform 8. We'll move off at 1.20 pm, crossing Victoria Street into Cardinal Place.

(If you miss us, we'll be passing St James's Park tube station - Petty France exit)

Getting Back: Aiming to finish at Angel tube station 4.45 pmish

(2.5 miles to Tottenham Court Road station, nearly 3.5 miles to Russell Square station)

Route: (Devious !) Leaving Victoria via the modern development of Cardinal Place, we head along Castle Lane and Petty France to elegant Queen Anne's Gate and the Cockpit Steps to St James's Park (say hello to the pelicans). Passing Horse Guards Parade, we ascend the steps to Waterloo Place and 'Clubland', past Carlton Gardens to St James's Square and Jermyn Street (nice shirts). It gets more festive with both Piccadilly and Burlington Arcades, leading into chic Mayfair with a deviation via New Bond Street to gaze at the exuberant frontages of Cartier and Dior. Leaving via Savile Row (nice suits), we head into the quirkiness of Soho with Golden Square, Carnaby Street and busy but quaint back streets to Soho Square via St Anne's Court. Then into quiet Fitzrovia via modern Rathbone Square, Newman Passage (somewhat Dickensian) and Charlotte Street with a full view of the BT Tower. Colville Place is sedate by comparison as we head into Bloomsbury via the imposing Art Deco of Senate House and across Russell Square to the brutalist Brunswick Centre. The symmetry of Brunswick and Mecklenburgh Squares with Coram's Fields in between is followed by the Calthorpe Community Gardens and more back streets to Percy Circus. The uphill to Lloyd Square is rewarded by its stunning view back to the BT Tower as the final leg takes us via Myddelton Square to end at the Angel in the twilight ...

Pace is relaxed on pavement. Sunset just before 4 pm.

I'll be leading a 7-mile walk from Hammersmith to Richmond along the Thames towpath. It is a flat walk and the paths get muddy so sturdy walking shoes are recommended. We'll be walking along the Southbank to Richmond as the towpath from Kew to Richmond has been reopened. Pub lunch at The Ship in Mortlake where I have booked a table.
