I started planning a LEJOG trip in 2019 to do in 2020, then Covid happened. Then, even if I could have traveled to UK and back, my passport renewal was delayed for months during the initial shutdown when nobody was processing passports. I recieved my new passport after I would have gotten home. I then started planning it again, and then the Ukraine invasion happened so I decided to skip it that year too. Not sure if I ever will do it, now am losing interest.
But from my initial research I found quite a few separate LEJOG routes, there does not appear to be a single common route like we have in USA where ACA and others have published specific routes.
I checked this forum once a week, but I did not get very much info from it.

I do not know if you frequent hostels or not, I do. UK has a LOT of them. A few times I have planned to camp, but the rain convinced me that sleeping indoors would be nice instead.

I was trying to figure out how to get from one end to the other (the ends of LEJOG) for logistics and found that taking the train meant two different train stations in London. And that is where my planning came to an end.

The following are various links that I saved over the past few years on this.

I have read that butane canisters are available at Decathlon. I am sure you can find them elsewhere too, but nice to know of a reliable source.
