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
Speakers Corner, Hyde Park


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...

Hong Kong

We're off to Hong Kong for a few days! The last time I was there was exactly 10 years ago (it'll be the first time for Charné though). I personally am looking forward to seeing how it's changed in that time. The character of a city is constantly changing, evolving as it's citizens move on to pastures new; whilst making way for new arrivals. I've seen London evolve in the past decade, and I suspect Hong Kong has too. Unlike the South Africa road trip, we're not going to have to worry too much about the technical challenges of blogging on the road. So no gear guide this time. See you on the other side!

Cupcake Heaven

Today we decided to wander out in the rain and explore Knysna town centre, which as it turns out is only a 5min drive from where we are staying. Score! Since it wasn't really beach weather, we decided to check out the local attractions instead. Knysna central has a bit of a weird setup with a couple of local malls within walking distance of each other and mostly outdoors.  Needless to say that the outdoorsy malls left us quite wet and longing for a nice warm cuppa. While wondering around Knysna mall we came across a quaint little store called Dinky Cakes. This place epitomizes cupcake heaven and I fell head over heel in love. Aside from the delicious cupcakes, they also sell a variety of niceties and tasty treats, such as milkshakes, date balls, cute pink stuff, coffees, sandwiches and my personal weakness, Coconut Ice. With such a wide variety of cupcakes to choose from, Kaif and I found it really difficult to decide on just one cupcake each, some of the flavors included: KitKat, ...
