Get your walking shoes on and explore some of the Capital’s less known historic areas with a tour of the ‘gateway to London’ along the Thames’s eastern section.

What is the London Summer Walk?

Starting alongside the grandeur of Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks (short walk from Elizabeth Line, DLR, & Overground) – we have a special 50km looped route which heads into the heart of the Capital – alongside the long standing 25km option taking in Greenwich – and a family friendly 10km option if you’re after something a bit shorter.

Routes steeped in history with iconic sights, a lively warm up, full support all the way, and capped with a BBQ meal, bar & music at the finish – making for a wonderful end of summer celebration!

However you do this and whatever distance you do, you’ll be helping us be there, through it all, for the people of East London.
