Hillingdon Ramblers

Varied West London walks into the Chilterns

🥾 Hillingdon Walks on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays Beginner-friendly Social Day trips Long-distance

Hillingdon Ramblers are a friendly group from many walks of life who share a love of the countryside, and their location on the west side of London makes for especially varied walking. Gentle, relaxed morning walks of 3–4 miles (often from a Metropolitan line station, no stiles) are perfect for beginners, while Tuesday morning and Saturday afternoon walks of 5–7 miles are a little more demanding.

Sunday and the very popular Wednesday walks head further afield - usually 10–14 miles at a moderate pace with a picnic lunch, often exploring the beautiful Chilterns. There are also trips to the Surrey Hills and elsewhere in Greater London.

All walks are free to try, and you'll get a very warm welcome.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Erin Walsh · 16 June 2026 Socialising never made sense to me. At a board game night, the rules were finally written down. As an autistic adult, the unspoken rules of socialising always left me lost and exhausted. A board game night was the first place the rules were actually explicit - and I could finally relax. 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.
