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.) ImageImageImage
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!) ImageImageImage

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...

...and Lammas Park Road was where Hell’s Grannies stole a phone box from.
