LNER<\/a> is helping customers get into their stride this New Year by offering free walking maps so people can go by foot to their destination in London.<\/p>\n

Many of London\u2019s key locations are a simple walk from London King\u2019s Cross, and the NHS recommends walking as an easy way to build stamina, burn excess calories and make your heart healthier. LNER<\/a> is already on a mission to be the most responsible way to travel, with its fleet of Azuma trains and environmental initiatives such as growing algae to capture carbon and its \u2018Green Guides\u2019 \u2013 showcasing the best eco-friendly places to stay, eat and drink. The walking maps are produced by the Footways project, who are on a mission to get people walking more and further.<\/p>\n

David Horne, Managing Director at LNER<\/a>, said: \u201cWalking can be the best way to get around central London, and we know many of our customers want to work off the Christmas excess this January. With around 60 per cent of journeys being to or from London King\u2019s Cross, we hope many people will find these maps a useful tool to discover ways to get around London.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma Griffin, co-founder of Footways<\/a> said: \u201cIt only takes 25 minutes to walk from King\u2019s Cross to the British Museum<\/a>, or 40 minutes to Trafalgar Square. The time has come to walk more and walk further to improve our health, the environment, boost footfall and bring joy and discovery back to our daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
