I’ve finally finished the first phase of my project to explore places you can reach from the London Underground - excluding the city centre.You can see the walks I’ve written up on my website www.londontuberambles.co.uk. Now, armed with a new camera, I’m retracing my steps, knowing that the really hard slog is over.That means I have time to chat about what happens along the way – there’s never been an outing that hasn’t produced something entertaining.

Mudchute Farm - the countryside in Docklands
Tamworth pig in Docklands! Directly opposite Mudchute DLR on the Isle of Dogs is Mudchute Park and Farm (turn right and cross the road to get to the entrance).At 32 acres it is the largest city farm in London. A great place for kids - and adults. You can wander round this surprisingly leafy area looking at a variety of animals and poultry or just enjoy a pleasant 'country' walk.
Many other suggestions for explorations in the London area and beyond can be found at www.londontuberambles.co.uk
