Overground

Social-media-born walks escaping the city

🥾 Across London Roughly monthly walks Day trips Social Beginner-friendly

Overground started almost by accident in 2023 and grew into one of London's most popular young walking communities, attracting hundreds of walkers to its countryside hikes around the city. Expect to spend around half a day exploring scenic spots like the Surrey Hills, Seven Sisters cliffs, Epping Forest and Margate, meeting new people and forming friendships.

It's a relaxed, friendly group built around getting out of London for fresh air and good company - perfect if your own friends would rather stay in town. Walks are posted on their Instagram (@over_____ground, with five underscores), where you'll find dates, locations and details for the next adventure.

Just follow along and turn up to join the fun.

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. 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. 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.
