Walking Tour: Green Park Station to Kilburn Station

By -

We set out for this walk from Green Park Station to Kilburn Station on a slightly windy, slightly overcast summers day in the city. This is a great walk if you're keen to see some major London landmarks such as Hyde Park and Marble Arch and also get a flavour of some of the more eastern-influenced areas of this diverse city. We even managed to catch a bit of protest action at Marble Arch. 

Edgware Road Station


This 7km walk takes around 2hours, but factor in a bit of extra time to stop off at some of the cool locations along the way, such as Speakers Corner and Church Street Market. Check out these and other attractions in our Green Park Station to Kilburn Station, London video on our Skint Adventure YouTube channel. This is also a great one if you're not hot with directions as you'll end up walking in a straight line for most of this route. 


📌 The key attractions on this route, that you can check out in the video, include:

  • Green Park
  • Green Park Station
  • Hyde Park
  • Park Lane
  • Speakers Corner
  • Joy of Life Fountain
  • Marble Arch
  • Still Water Sculpture
  • Marble Arch Station
  • Edgware Road
  • Edgware Road Station
  • Church Street Market
  • Maida Vale
  • Kilburn High Street
  • Kilburn Station

Edgware Road is 14km (9miles) long and stretches all the way from Marble Arch to the London Borough of Barnet. The route originated from a Roman route and runs for 10miles in an almost straight line. The name of the road changes at different points along the way (e.g. Kilburn High Street, Cricklewood Broadway), but as a whole the road is known as Edgware Road.

Wandering Around

After finally getting some rest we managed to drag ourselves out of the hotel and have a walk around the area. We didn't plan anything for the first day. Instead we just walked around and headed in directions that looked interesting. The first thing that struck me was how densely packed the buildings are. Hong Kong is a vertical city covered in towering buildings both old and new. There was a market which had cool looking fishmongers and butchers. Although I couldn't resist going into the bookmakers and snapping a picture of a large group of gamblers eagerly watching a horse race. Near to Causeway Bay we stumbled across a massive parade of Muslim women who were celebrating the beginning of Ramadan. It definitely had a carnival atmosphere. After that, we managed to jump onto a the Star Ferry which is a very frequent (and cheap) ride to get off Hong Kong island and onto Kowloon. We managed to get to Kowloon Park which is very different to a European park

Saucy Portions

We headed out into the dense and crowded city yesterday to do some exploring and sample some local delights. Our morning started with a weird breakfast at Tsui Wah in Wan Chai. We opted for two set menus: 1. Scrambled eggs and crispy bun, paired with a bowl of satay beef with instant noodles in soup, and sweet condensed milk tea. 2. Fried egg and soft bun, paired with shredded squid and ham with macaroni in soup, and sweet condensed milk coffee. They really seem to love condensed milk in HK and put it on just about everything, including tea,  toast and waffles. Needless to say this was a whole lot of food and a whole new level of breakfast, which we made a good attempt at, but in the end it was just way too much for first thing in the morning. After a huge breakfast we headed to Wan Chai Computer Centre to check out some electronic gadgets. This place is like Tottenham Court road on steroids. Next we headed to Mong Kok and the great Ladies Market for some serious haggli

Hiking Lamma Island

Today we visited one of Hong Kong's many islands, Lamma Island. A short 20 minutes ferry ride from Hong Kong Island and we were in the sleepy island of Lamma. It is completely different from Hong Kong. Quiet, picturesque and very slow paced. We followed the trail from Sok Kwu Wan Ferry Pier to Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier. The route passed through some beaches and a few small (mostly abandoned villages). I really loved the contrast between this small tranquil island and the intense metropolis. Below are photos taken along the route.
