FREE Social Walk, Games and Pub Trip | Royal Parks

They’re back! After a couple of months off, our Social Walks return on Sunday 25th January for the first walk of 2026.

Yep that's right, we'll be dusting off our hiking boots again and heading out on one of our favourite social walk routes through all three Royal Parks, Hyde Park, Green Park and St James Park.

The event will start out by the Kensington Gardens Bandstand in Hyde Park and to kick things off - you'll be allocated a group/team for an initial mix of fun ice breaker games.

These are designed to get people talking and help you to get to know some of the other participants on the walk a little better.

We’ll then set off on our 2-3 hour walk across London, we'll catch glimpses of some of the most famous landmarks and sights of London, such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Eye.

And of course, no social walk would be complete without a trip to the pub to wrap up the afternoon and give you a chance to grab a drink, a bite to eat and get to know your fellow hikers a bit better.

Owing to the size of the venue, we will be having to cap numbers for this event and so do make sure you nab your place as soon as you can!
