From 18:59 tonight (Tuesday 9th June) until 18:58 on Thursday 11th June, the entire London tube network will be closed down as a result of industrial action. National charity Living Streets is urging all Londoners to give walking a go during the strike to find just how quick and easy it can be.

A total of 40,888 miles, the equivalent of walking 1.6 times around the world, was walked nationally as part of Walk to Work Week last week. Commuters across the country managed to burn off the equivalent of 20,444 cupcakes and save 13,575kg of carbon.

New research published today to mark the start of National Walk to Work Week shows an alarming level of stress amongst Britain's office workers, as the Nation's office-bound workforce don't feel able to fit stress-busting activity into their daily lives.

With an estimated 70% of adults not doing enough exercise to benefit their health and statistics showing that we jump in the car for over a fifth of journeys shorter than one mile, businesses and local councils are being urged to encourage their staff and businesses in their area to change their journey to work during National Walk to Work Week (27th April - 1st May.)

Everyone has a favourite track to walk to on their commute, whether it's upbeat to wake you up on the way to work, or relaxed to soothe you after a stressful day in the office. In fact, new research suggests that listening to your favourite music may be good for your cardiovascular system.

With an estimated 70% of adults not doing enough exercise to benefit their health and government statistics showing that we jump in the car for over a fifth of journeys shorter than one mile, commuters are being urged to change their journey to work during National Walk to Work Week (27th April - 1st May).

After a season brimming over with a bit too much Christmas cheer, many of us will be horrified to realise that our clothes are suddenly more ‘snug' than is comfortable. But never fear: Walking Works, a campaign funded nationwide by the Big Lottery Fund and in London by Transport for London, is here to help.

Living Streets' Walking Works Conference: Wednesday 28th January 2009

With Christmas just around the corner, national charity Living Streets has launched an im-mince-ly exciting project to get people walking, through their Walking Works campaign!

A host of top musicians have helped launch a competition to find the perfect music compilation for walking to work. As part of the Walking Works campaign, national charity Living Streets are compiling the album as a response to the hundreds of driving compliaitons released each year. Among the stars who have offered their suggestions for the perfect walk to work song are Jack Johnson and Idlewild's Roddy Woomble.
