Black Girls Hike UK

Europe's largest outdoor group for Black women

🥾 Across London Monthly London walks Women-only Beginner-friendly Social Day trips

Founded in 2019 by Rhiane Fatinikun MBE, Black Girls Hike is a safe, welcoming community for Black women to explore the outdoors and reconnect with nature - and you don't need any experience to come along. The London branch, led by regional leader Oge Ejizu, runs monthly walks in and around the capital, from Epping Forest and the Green Chain Walk to day trips further afield like the Seven Sisters cliffs.

Whether it's your first walk or your hundredth, all levels are warmly welcomed. The group exists to give Black women a space to be themselves without feeling judged or out of place, and the community spirit is genuinely uplifting.

Founder Rhiane has even partnered with Transport for London on heritage walks celebrating the Windrush generation.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Arjun Mehta · 13 June 2026 I optimised my whole life in London. Except the part that actually mattered. I moved here for a brilliant engineering job and built a life so efficient I barely had to speak to anyone. It worked perfectly, right up until it didn't. A running club fixed what I couldn't. Rachel Okafor · 15 June 2026 I was someone's mum from 6am to midnight. A book club gave me back two hours that were mine. After my son was born I disappeared into being his mother. The thing that brought me back wasn't a spa day or a grand gesture. It was a paperback and a room full of women. Bridget Lawson · 18 June 2026 I look after my mum full time. A Saturday walk is the one hour that's mine. Caring for someone you love can quietly erase you. This is about the morning I started walking with a group of strangers, and how one hour a week gave me back to myself.
