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.

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. 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. 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.
