The concept of a 15-minute city is one in which daily necessities, such as work, shopping, entertainment, schools and recreation, are all within a quarter of an hour’s walk or cycle from your home.

Pioneering measures to encourage this change in lifestyle are going on around the world with Paris the poster child of the ‘slow street’ movement, for example.

This new spirit of city living doesn’t mean you’ll never have to travel, but having the services and amenities you need nearby helps cut down on unnecessary journeys.

The coronavirus-driven switch to home working for many of us has highlighted the issue of long commutes, while many people are discovering – or rediscovering – the joys of local shops and businesses and the sense of community they can provide.

London is built on a network of walkable neighbourhoods – here’s just a flavour of what’s on offer.
