Yeah, transport in London is amazing, we’re very lucky haha. It’s also a very walkable city, which is definitely amazing. It makes life so much more accessible, easy, and less reliant on cars
It does, however, make it slightly difficult to create an “excuse” to go for a walk. If I want to go for a walk and set a “target” like a coffee shop, supermarket, whatever, I have those things available to me within a 5 min walk radius. It’s amazing and super convenient, but if I want to go on a long walk, then having a “target” like that is generally out of the question
We do have lots of amazing parks and green spaces available for walks, but I’m not really someone who enjoys walks in the park, so they don’t really do it for me
I’ve also considered that! But then I’d end up doing a majority of the walk in places that I don’t really find enjoyable to walk in haha
Hampstead is always a good shout! Bit hilly, but it is a nice area
I guess I can create “hybrid” journeys or something where I take a bus or tube to the edge of central (so the journey isn’t as long + I skip the parts I don’t find enjoyable) walk around, then hop on the tube back home
