Richmond Ramblers

Friendly city and country walks from Richmond

🥾 Richmond upon Thames Three walks most weeks Social Day trips Beginner-friendly

Richmond Ramblers offer a friendly programme blending city walks in central London with country walks in Greater London and the counties beyond - the beautiful North Downs, South Downs, South Coast and Chilterns. There are three walks nearly every week, on Saturdays, Sundays and midweek, all conveniently organised around public transport and usually starting and ending at railway stations.

Walks range from 4 to 12 miles, with lunch often a pleasant stop at a country pub or a picnic nearby. You're welcome to try out your first few walks for free before deciding whether to join the Ramblers.

It's a relaxed, welcoming group with something for every level, ideal for South West London.

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. 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. Claire Donnelly · 7 June 2026 I sat silent at book club for months. Finding my voice there changed my whole life. I'd spent my whole life letting other people's opinions fill the room. A monthly book club, and one patient question, taught me that mine mattered too.
