London Summer Walk 2026

22 August

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

Starting alongside the grandeur of Woolwich Barracks, there’s a marathon looped route, which heads into the heart of the Capital – alongside a 25km option taking in Greenwich, and a 10km option if you’re after something a bit shorter.

The routes are steeped in history with iconic sights and you’ll enjoy a BBQ meal, bar and music at the finish, making for a wonderfully active end of summer celebration.
