The Jubilee Walkway is one of the official walkways in London, England. It was originally opened as The Silver Jubilee Walkway to commemorate that event of Queen Elizabeth II's accession; the Queen herself opened it on 9 June 1977. The intention was to connect the majority of London's tourist attractions and it is now one of seven such walks within the Mayor of London's Strategic Routes. The Jubilee Walkway Trust was set up in 1978 to look after the Walkway, in collaboration with local authorities. Its length is 13.2 miles.
On 24 October 2002, during the Queen's Golden Jubilee, the renamed Jubilee Walkway was reopened after refurbishment; and a new spur walk was opened in 2003, called the "Camden loop", which took walkers into north-west London.
The walkway can be divided into five smaller loop walks called the Western Loop, Eastern Loop, City Loop, Camden Loop and Jubilee Loop.[1]
