New London Walking Route features Broomfield Park

North to South London Route passes through Broomfield Park

Broomfield Park features as one step in a new North to South London Walking Trail. Launching on the May Bank Holiday weekend, the route has been established by Walking Post – a website offering useful and accessible ideas for walking routes out of London, particularly using public transport. 



The trail is 34-miles long overall and divided into five easy-to-follow parts. The first section runs from Cockfosters in the north and takes in Broomfield Park on the way to Highgate, from where it continues through central London all the way to Carshalton Park in South London - amazingly 75% is on paths and car-free routes and includes accessible links with tube or rail stations along the way as well as suggested refreshment pit-stops – including our own Palmer Greenery Community Café.

Friends of Broomfield Park were delighted to take part in The Big Draw Festival 2026, joining thousands of organisations around the world celebrating the joy, creativity and accessibility of drawing. This year’s theme, “Make a Mark”, invited everyone to explore drawing as a way of seeing, thinking and connecting — not just creating a finished picture. The event was a great success, with lots of people turning up to unleash their creativity and enjoy trying something new. CLICK TO READ MORE AND SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF THE EVENT
