North London Rambling Club

Weekly rambles around London since 1919

🥾 Across London Weekly rambles, mainly weekends Social Day trips Long-distance

Established in 1919, the North London Rambling Club is a venerable yet welcoming club that still organises weekly rambles and visits around London and the surrounding areas, always using public transport to reach the start. While members span all ages - primarily 30 to over 60 - the countryside walks are typically not too strenuous, covering distances from six to over 15 miles.

Recent programmes have included Cambridge circulars, riverside walks and college tours, often with a relaxed pub or tea-garden lunch. It's a friendly, long-established club ideal if you want regular weekend walking with a sociable group and a sense of history, without the need for a car.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Stephen Pryce · 11 June 2026 I couldn't remember the last time I'd made a new friend. Then I made one at 41. My friendships had quietly thinned out over a decade, and I'd stopped believing new ones were still possible at my age. A weekly board game night proved me wrong. 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. Margaret Ellison · 5 June 2026 At 68, I thought my world had got smaller. A walking group proved me wrong. After I retired and lost my husband, the house went quiet and the days got long. Then a Saturday walking group gave me back something I thought was gone for good.
