Grove Lane Runners

Catch a vibe with Camberwell's friendliest crew

🏃 Southwark 2–3 times per week - Mondays, Wednesdays & Sundays Social Beginner-friendly Track

Grove Lane grew out of a simple idea - that moving your body is grounding and good for you - and turned into a warm little community in Camberwell, SE5.

Sunday's a friendly 5k from Grove Lane Deli, Monday's a track night at Southwark Athletics Track, and midweek there are groovy-pace 10k runs. It's social pace for all abilities, and it really is one of the friendliest crews in SE London.

This is running as a lifestyle, not a stopwatch. Join the WhatsApp group via Instagram and roll with us.

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. 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. 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.
