Red Rope is the socialist walking and climbing club, and its London region is one of the largest, with a friendly, values-driven community who care about the politics of the outdoors and encouraging more people to get outside. The group runs a countryside walk near London most Sundays and some weekdays, all reachable by public transport, plus weekend hostel and bunkhouse trips further afield.

Membership is income-scaled to keep it affordable and inclusive. Whether you're an experienced walker or just starting out, you'll find a welcoming, sociable group that combines getting outdoors with a strong sense of community and shared ethos.

It's a great choice if you want your walking to come with like-minded company and a progressive outlook.

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

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. Hannah Cole · 3 June 2026 I moved to London for the job. The loneliness nearly sent me home. Arriving in a city of nine million people and feeling invisible - and the ordinary Tuesday evening that slowly changed everything. 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.
