 * London** is a 21st century leader in modeling sustainable practices. What does local, conscious, responsible travel look like in London?

Examples include cycling and recycling. Londoners are also justifiably proud of their gardens and trees!

July 17 [|Green London Meetup] - This urban eco tour is a walking tour and also a crash course in environmental issues in two and a half hours! We’ll visit Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Horse Gaurds Parade, the gorgeous St James Park (even better in the sun!), The Cabinet War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, The Houses of Parliament and The River Thames. The walk explains how these places and London impact on the global environment in terms of population, traffic, emissions, and water levels. Then we’ll all go to the nearby pub to mull these over a beer – much discussion guaranteed !!

Exhibition Road
This is exactly what's happening at London's Exhibition Road, the great Victorian thoroughfare that stretches half a mile from South Kensington tube station to Hyde Park in London. In the last 18 months, it has been ripped up and remade to a new design that all but abolishes the distinction between road and pavement. Instead, there's one continuous surface, cross-hatched dramatically in black-and-white granite. Pedestrians can wander where they like: they'll just have to negotiate the cars and bicycles. It's all very liberal, and something of an experiment. []

World Heritage
London boasts four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; the Key Royal Botanic Gardens and the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and Saint Margaret's Church.
