I fell in love with city walking when I discovered the London Loop, the long-distance orbital path that circles the edges of Greater London. This was back in 2002, and I cemented my relationship four years later with the Capital Ring, the Loop's younger sibling. I loved both walks; although walking through a capital city might not be as glamorous as exploring moors or climbing mountains, the city's charms are unique – even in much-maligned suburbia – and it didn't take me long to get hooked.
