Walking in the time of coronavirus: a walk from Queen’s Park to Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury’s

Queen's Park, London, UK
20 minutes
Sound walk

This is the 20-minute walk that my friend Henie and I have been doing every Thursday morning for over five months since the start of the covid-19 lockdown in London to do our weekly supermarket shopping. The walk starts in the Queen’s Park Estate in north-west London and ends at the Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury’s. The estate was built in the 1870s to provide decent homes for artisans and labourers. Always a place with a strong sense of community, that is a spirit that has become even stronger during the pandemic, reinforcing our sense of neighbourhood.

pedestrianate

This word has been around since the mid-1800s. Here it is in an 1864 issue of the journal Notes & Queries: “I have been pedestrianating through a corner of Oxfordshire.” Credits to Mark Peters.
