A402 Road

The A402 is a remarkably straight 4.4 mile long A-road in west London, it runs from Stamford Brook to Marble Arch, via Shepherds Bush.
Until 2000, the A402 in its entirety was the Goldhawk Road which starts on the A315 (ex A4) and runs around Ravenscourt Park to Shepherds Bush Green.
From Shepherd's Bush, it runs over the roundabout with the former M41 (now A3220) along Holland Park Avenue and through Notting Hill Gate. It then runs along the north side of Hyde Park until it meets the terminus of the A5 at Marble Arch. The A40 resumes its original route in Oxford Street to the east, or at least it would if anybody felt like signing it as such.

Walking the lines

A few years ago I read a book by Mark Mason "Walking the lines" in which he walked the route of the London Underground lines, overground. I will repeat this visiting all 272 stations (some more than once). My route tries to follow the line of the railway as closely as possible, using footpaths and roads, deviations are made to make the walk more "interesting".
