London Walks

A guided walk

Sociable, achievable and with lots of health benefits . . . Walking is one of the best forms of exercise available and it’s fun and free.

If you join one of our walks you’ll gain the extra benefits of meeting other like-minded people enjoying the delights of the local area under the guidance of qualified walk leaders – often with some expert local history or ‘green’ info thrown in!

We offer a range of walks in different parts of the capital; some as part of a regular programme and others as more individual events to explore the local history, environmental treasures or natural beauty of London’s parklands, woodlands and other green spaces.

The walks generally last around an hour or two, following easily accessible routes without steep hills or tricky terrains. With organised events you are guaranteed to have fellow walkers to keep you company, have a chat, and even give you peace of mind of you are nervous of venturing out alone.
