Capital Walkers

Easy, longer walks for the over-40s and everyone

🥾 Across London Walks on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays Beginner-friendly Social Day trips

Capital Walkers was set up by Londoners who love getting out into the countryside as well as discovering the lesser-known parts of the city. Aimed at people aged 40-plus - though anyone is welcome - it's a good choice if you fancy easy but slightly longer walks at a comfortable pace.

Walks take place on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays and include city routes such as Regent's Park to Olympic Park, plus woodland, suburban and country rambles. There's a sociable side too, with weekends away, theatre trips, ceilidhs and dinners.

This is one of the Inner London Ramblers' Area-wide groups, so you can try a few walks for free before joining. Check the website timetable for upcoming walks; most don't need booking in advance.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

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. Marcus Bennett · 9 June 2026 I can't do small talk. At a board game night, I finally didn't have to. Parties, pubs, the dreaded "so what do you do?" - I'd given up on meeting people. Then I sat down at a board game night and the talking just happened sideways. Liam Carver · 17 June 2026 Burnout took me apart. A beginner running club is how I put myself back together. I pushed myself until I broke, then sat at home ashamed and flat. Learning to run slowly, with no one keeping score, taught me that showing up gently beats winning.
