London's quieter side reveals itself through hidden courtyards, old alleyways and foot-only lanes. Seven Dials, Neal's Yard and Cecil Court offer street art, antique bookshops and Victorian charm, while Temple Church and Lincoln's Inn Fields add centuries of history. Walking, running or cycling through these streets gives a fresh view of a city often seen from busy main roads.
Edinburgh's character is shaped by its steep closes, old stone and the castle that looks over the Old Town. Its best-known places include St Giles' Cathedral, the Royal Mile, the Grassmarket and Greyfriars Kirkyard. Walking the winding Victoria Street and the atmospheric closes is a good way to take in the city's layered history and its street art.
Birmingham's canals, civic squares and Jewellery Quarter give the city its shape, with the Library of Birmingham and Centenary Square among its modern landmarks. Old churches, Georgian St Paul's Square and Warstone Lane Cemetery add a sense of its history. Canal towpaths and traffic-free paths make it easy to explore on foot or by bike.
Cambridge is shaped by its university, whose colleges line narrow lanes, old courts and the River Cam. Its best-known sights include King's College Chapel, the Mathematical Bridge and the Backs along the river. On foot, quiet ginnels and cobbled lanes reveal hidden corners, and the riverside paths also suit a cycle or a run.
Canterbury's character comes from its medieval core, where Roman, Saxon and medieval history meet along narrow lanes. Its best-known sights include Christ Church Gate, the cathedral precincts, St Augustine's Abbey ruins and the Westgate Towers. Walking through the old streets and past Dane John Gardens, with its Roman burial mound, shows the city's long story at an easy pace.
Glasgow's character comes from its Victorian architecture, lively Merchant City lanes and a sense of quirky humour. Its best-known places include George Square, Glasgow Cathedral, the Necropolis and the Gallery of Modern Art. Murals in hidden alleys and the pedestrian lanes of the Merchant City make walking through the centre rewarding, and its streets suit a run or ride too.
