Walking without crossing a road

How far can you walk from Trafalgar Square without crossing a road?

A couple of years ago, as a test of the walkability of London, I set out from Trafalgar Square — the official centre of the town — one Sunday morning to see how far I could get without crossing a road or going over the same place twice. It was almost 17 miles before I ended up going round in a circle.

The author also says: I know of no other capital city where it is possible to do this. That sounds like a challenge to me! flaneurs, do you think this would work in your city?

If making use of the PATH network was allowed, then Toronto could probably do reasonably well (given its small size), but it's not quite a capital city.

Heh, PATH sounds terrifying to me. I get lost in the Whitgift Centre!
