London Leg - Route

Although the first pilgrims began walking from central London, due to the increase in traffic in recent years, we have now started walking from Epping. Epping is the last tube station on the Central Line to the north east of London and is just outside the London Orbital. It is very easy to get to from central London and the journey on the tube takes about an hour.
