Aim
This May, join thousands of people across the city as they walk to help make London greener, healthier and wilder.
Be part of the city-wide movement celebrating our green spaces while raising funds along the way. From riverside routes to hidden green spaces, discover new corners of the city and help us walk one million miles together.
We're raising important funds for hundreds more Ranger and community led projects to support local nature recovery and nature connection across London. Every penny we raise through the London Walking Festival goes towards supporting grassroots projects.
Get involved
There are a few simple ways to get involved — whether you want to join something, start something, or just head out for a walk.
Find walks across London and sign up to one near you.
Plan your route, create a Crowdfunder and invite others to join.
Track your walks and be part of a shared city-wide goal.
Do London Differently
In 2019, London became the world’s first National Park City - the culmination of a grassroots campaign that began with a simple question: “What if we imagined our city as a National Park City?”. That same year, hundreds of Londoners, alongside the Mayor of London and over 300 organisations signed the Charter - a shared commitment to grow a greener, wilder and healthier city.
Today, the community-led movement focuses on local action across London, supporting volunteer projects that bring neighbourhoods and nature closer together.
What is the London Walking Festival?
The London Walking Festival is a month-long celebration of exploring the city on foot - bringing together communities, nature lovers and all kinds of walkers.
Across the month:
- 200+ guided walks take place across the city
- People explore parks, leafy streets and new neighbourhoods
- Friends, families and colleagues walk together
- Thousands of Londoners reconnect with nature on their doorstep
