BREATHE FRESH AIR: Improve your overall fitness levels on a green walk. Get out, explore and enjoy London's abundant and sometimes secret green spaces, forest areas and surprising surrounding countryside.

Social Event:
Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. We always end the walk at a pub with a convivial atmosphere where the socialising can continue. Be sure to join us in the pub for the whole experience!

COST:Please also note that there is a £5 organisers charge for this walking event for those members and guests not holding the Ken's Events Membership card.
