Walking London: 10,000 Steps Through History, Parks, and Policy

London is built for walking—and in this episode, we break down why. From Hyde Park’s green loops to the Thames Path and Regent’s Canal, London’s design quietly pushes most people into the high-value 7,000–10,000 step range every day. We explore how the city’s Healthy Streets policies, historic parks, and reclaimed industrial routes make walking the easiest way to get around, backed by data from Transport for London and the latest research on steps and health. If you want to understand what makes London one of the world’s top walkable cities, this deep dive shows exactly how the city’s history and infrastructure work together to keep you moving.

Walking Bangkok: 10,000 Steps Through Heat, Chaos, and Hidden Pathways

Bangkok has a reputation for being one of the least walkable cities in the world—but the truth is far more interesting. In this episode, we break down how the city’s chaotic layout and massive indoor networks actually make 10,000 steps surprisingly achievable. From the “refrigerated city” of interconnected malls in Siam, to the elevated skywalks, to perfectly timed loops through Benjakitti and Lumpini Parks, Bangkok rewards anyone who knows how to move strategically. We also explore the step-rich rhythms of markets like Chatuchak and Chinatown, the hidden walking built into the BTS SkyTrain system, and why research shows these fragmented, indoor-outdoor steps deliver the same health benefits as any long power walk. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay active in the tropics, this deep dive rewrites everything you thought you knew about Bangkok.
