Sustainable Travel Leaflet – Walking Routes

Javascript is required to view this map.

By: NHS Harrow

Each leaflet is designed to show people what is within a 15 – 20 minute walk of the particular site, including other Harrow PCT centres.  Sights of interest and the civic centre are also marked where applicable.  Each leaflet is essentially a map of the local area with a circle marking the 20 minute walking radius (at average pace).

 The maps also detail 3 lunchtime walking routes, and are rated, slow, medium and fast.  The reader can also see how far they walk, and the average amount of calories burnt on each route.

5 sites at present – including the headquarters and some polyclinics
