To celebrate #NationalWalkingMonth, I’m walking from home in W13 to my office in EC1 (~11 miles), sticking to the historic London-Oxford highway (now part A4020/part A40). As in previous years, I’ll post photos of whatever takes my fancy as I stroll. #WalkThisMay @livingstreets
I’m starting at the west end of West Ealing Broadway*
* Like several ‘Broadways’ along the A4020 in Ealing, the name may conjure up something more spacious than the reality. (Not that what space there is couldn’t be better used, mind.)

I immediately encounter reminders of what Bill Bryson advises in ‘Notes from a Small Island’ - if you want to see the real character of the buildings on most British high streets, look above the ground floor. (That ‘Half-Way House’ is just taunting me!)
Ten years after having done my first @livingstreets #WalkToWork, I’m once again sauntering from home in Ealing to our office. Was W1, now EC1 - about 12 miles. Seems I’ve picked a decent day for it & my first photos are of the lovely Lammas Park. Hold that name...

Quite a bit of Monty Python’s Flying Circus was filmed around here, back in the day. Lammas Park Gardens featured in the Spanish Inquisition’s dash by bus to the Old Bailey...
