organise led walks in and around London ranging from 2 to 20

2. Where we walk
We organise led walks in London’s many wonderful green spaces
from Hampstead Heath and the Grand Union Canal to the Royal
Parks, Epsom Forest and the Thames Path, as well as urban walks
including the annual Films on Foot walks to coincide with the BFI
London Film Festival. We also walk in beautiful areas near London
such as the Surrey Hills, Chilterns and South Coast.
Get fit, get walking
Walking in a group is fun, sociable and a great way to get fit, lose
weight and to live longer! Did you know that a brisk one mile walk
burns around 100 calories? Scientific research shows that it also
lowers blood pressure, reduces high cholesterol and the risk of
heart disease, strokes, osteoporosis and certain cancers.
No car needed
All our walks are accessible by public transport and generally start
and finish at a London tube or train station.
Get involved
The groups are run entirely by volunteers. There are plenty of
opportunities to get involved whether leading a walk, organising a
social event or campaigning. Participation is encouraged.
Ramblers 75 years old
Thanks to the Ramblers campaigning over the past 75 years we all
enjoy unrivalled access to footpaths across the UK and can walk in
national parks. Locally the Ramblers founded the Thames Path and
this year celebrated the creation of the South Downs national park.
Currently the Ramblers is campaigning to ‘Put London on the map’
and to have all our footpaths in our city recorded and protected.
