London's Lost Rivers - Walk the River Fleet!
Come along on Sunday 28th June for a guided walk/hike walking the route of one of London's lost rivers - the River Fleet!
**About the walk**
We will pick up the River Fleet and walk the last 3 miles to where it enters the River Thames. The Fleet is unfortunately completely covered and is now part of sewer system.
The walk is part hike/part guided, so on the way I will show you points of interest which would have been on the banks of the River Fleet and tell you more about them.
**The River Fleet**
The river's name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon *'flēot'* meaning *"tidal inlet"*. Its headwaters are two streams on Hampstead Heath and flows south about 6 miles into the River Thames.
Over time, as London grew, the river became increasingly a sewer and when the London sewer system was built by Joseph Bazalgette in the 1860's, the Fleet was covered over and became part of the system.
We will walk about 3 miles, so sensible shoes are advised. The terrain is pavements.

Rare Groove Legends Boat Party
The original Rare Groove Legends Boat Party returns June 26. A proven sell-out, unmatched vibes, the summer event everyone's taking about.
We return for 2026! The Legends are back where they belong, sailing down the River Thames for another iconic night of musical nostalgia, rare, soul-stirring grooves and pure grown-folk energy.
Expect a masterclass from our selectors as they take you back in time, blending the rare groove classics we all love with those long-forgotten gems that defined an era.
And because this is the original Rare Groove Legends Boat Party, you already know what that means, the underplayed, the overlooked and the deep cuts will absolutely be getting their moment.
This isn’t just a party.
It’s a reunion.
It’s a celebration of real music.
It’s the boat party everyone talks about, and the one you don’t want to hear about second-hand.

Guided Forest Bathing @ THCP
**Introduction**
In our busy city, it can be difficult to find time to slow down and smell the roses! Forest bathing offers you the chance to do just that. Over the course of 2 hours, you will be guided through a multi-sensory exploration of the natural world, giving you time to slow down, breathe, and find peace among the natural world.
**What is forest bathing?**
Forest bathing typically consists of slow walking, mindfulness practices, and resting (seated or lying down) in nature. Remember being a kid and just watching the branches overhead in the breeze?
Originating in Japan in the 1980s, Shin-Rin Yoku or forest bathing, was created as a preventative response to climbing rates of stress in urban areas. Since then, many research studies have shown that even one hour a week spent engaging with nature can significantly reduce symptoms of stress.
**What to expect:**
* 2-hour duration
* Small group size (maximum 6)
* Multi-sensory activities
* Sharing circle (optional)
* Herbal tea offering
* A guide to take care of you, so you can truly relax into the wonder of the natural world
* Phone-free environment
* Opportunity to chat and connect with others (if you would like to)
* **Please note there are no toilets available** \- there are several cafes on Mile End Road with toilet facilities\.
**What to bring:**
* Warm clothes; even on a summer day, spending prolonged time in the shade can begin to feel chilly!
* Shoes with a good grip, and that you don't mind getting dirty
* A journal and pen
* A mug (for tea if you fancy it!)
* Any medications you might need, such as EpiPens or inhalers.
**How much is it?**
This experience is offered on a donation basis; this means you can decide what you can reasonably afford to give. To help you decide, we want to be transparent with our cost breakdown:
* £8.50 - meets the recommended donation to Friends of THCP and contributes to important conservation work
* £12 - covers the above and supports the guide at the minimum wage rate
* £15-20 - pay it forward / supporter option.
You are welcome to give less or more depending on your personal circumstances. **[Make a donation here](https://buy.stripe.com/14AfZg0Gn3qL9Dx86M2VG02)**.
**About your guide:**
Hello! I'm Lizzie, a life-long nature lover. Having been gifted the Kingfisher Concise Field Guide to Animals & Plants of Britain and Europe at the tender age of five, it's perhaps unsurprising that I am happiest outdoors! After several years as a geography teacher and data analyst, I began my studentship as a Forest Bathing Practitioner with Nature and Therapy in June 2025. I have experienced the medicinal influence of nature in my own life when I've struggled with burnout and grief; it's a gift I am keen to share with others.
If you have any questions, please do reach out. I look forward to welcoming you!
**What next?**
Sign up! Then, you will receive a participation form by email with a couple of questions about health and safety; please try to respond before the event, so we can go straight to the trees! Your answers will help us to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone and are encrypted. Our GDPR policy is available on request.
Ramsgate to Margate Coastal Walk from London!
**Sunday 28th June**
✨ Ramsgate to Margate Coastal Walk ✨
📍St Pancras Station📍
⏰ 09:00-9:15 am ⏰
We're leaving London for the day to walk the Viking Coastal Path from Ramsgate to Margate!
We'll explore the 11km stretch of coast before settling in Margate where we'll have time to visit the \*free!\* Turner Contemporary Museum, the famous Crab Museum and simply chill on the beach in the sun with a cold beer.
**Logistics**
If you're coming on the trip you need to book an open return to Ramsgate (which will allow you to return from Margate too), and we'll be taking the outbound train from ST PANCRAS to RAMSGATE that departs at 9:40am. Tickets can be purchased at southeastern (where 33% discounts are available for bookings of 3 or more if you don't have a railcard):
https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/
You need to be on this train to make the trip. We are allowing plenty of time beforehand to meet, grab a coffee, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Please ensure you bring adequate provisions for a walk and time at the beach including water, sunscreen, good shoes, swimwear, and a benevolent disposition :)
Please join our whatsapp group to stay informed of all the latest with regards to our event on the day and going forward:
[https://chat.whatsapp.com/Dxcmw5sdjOq5RegETO0hS3](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Dxcmw5sdjOq5RegETO0hS3)
**What is all this?**
This is a fun enterprise set up purely for the purposes of bringing new people together and having a good time. Our meet-ups are for everyone - all inclusive and welcoming! Our events will follow no particular theme - variety is the spice of life after all - and we'll try to keep a nice mix of different accessible options.
**Can I come alone?**
Of course!! That's nerve-racking for some but a huge number of our participants come alone and feel equally uncertain about it. The hardest part is only ever the activation energy required to ask that first question or two.
**Is there any cost?**
We are not making a penny from any of this - It's all done for the pure thrill of the thing itself and with the belief that the monetisation of a fun project is a sure-fire way to suck the joy out of it! We will be selecting some activities that will be ticketed events, but it will simply be up to you to book in if you want to come!
**Do I need to sign up?**
Usually no! Just show up - but just check the detail of the event above to be sure.

Canal Walk - Angel to Victoria Park Cafe / Market
We will enjoy a leisurely walk (approx 45 mins - 1 hour) along Regent's Canal from Angel station and ending at the fabulous Victoria Park Market. This event usually runs on the 4th Sunday of each month, unless there is bad weather or exceptional circumstances. We are a welcoming group, so feel free to mix around and say hello other people.
There is a wondering food market in Victoria Park, and most of us will get something to eat together. We usually sit on the grass or public benches (if available) near the Bonner Gate entrance, behind the Dogs of Alcibiades statue. This is at the intersection of foodstalls running north/south and east/west. If it is raining or the market is closed, we can either go to the Pavillion cafe, or The Crown pub on Grove Road instead.
Please note a few points:
1\. There is currently no charge for this group\. I will need to review this again later in 2026\.
2\. WE WILL WAIT ONLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER THE START TIME\. If you are running late\, please catch us up along the canal\. Please note\, I will not be checking for meetup or whatsapp messages after the walk starts\.
3\. The nearest tube station to Victoria Park is Bethnal Green station \(central line\)\. Please check Google Maps or similar\.
4\. You are responsible for yourselves on the walk\, so please bring appropriate footwear etc\. Please be mindful of those around you\, especially where the canal gets narrow in places\.
Whatsapp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IJd6MJfVDPC6jUw6iW77ZY
Previously, there was a separate walk on the 3rd Sunday of the month, which started at Limehouse Basin, and then ran along the same canal to Victoria Park. Please note, the walks starting from Limehouse on the 3rd Sunday of the month are now cancelled for the foreseeable future.

Our journey begins in the Georgian market town of **Farnham**, with its history spanning nearly 1,000 years. From here we follow woodland trails to **Mother Ludlam’s Cave**, once said to be the home of the White Witch of Waverley. Passing the grand **Moor Park House**, we reach the evocative ruins of **Waverley Abbey**, England’s first Cistercian monastery founded in 1128, and the nearby **Waverley Abbey House**, set beside a tranquil lake.
The trail then brings us to **Tilford village**, a picture-perfect English setting with a cricket pitch, riverside pub, and two medieval stone bridges across the **River Wey**. Continuing on, we pass an **800-year-old oak tree** of remarkable size and a nearby farm where pigs — and often piglets — can be seen in the fields.
Next we enter the **Bourne Woods**, an enchanting mix of heathland and coniferous forest. Here we actually pass through **specific filming locations** used in *Gladiator, Robin Hood, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, War Horse* and more than 20 other films.

Capital Ring Part 14 - Hackney Wick to Beckton District Park
We will be walking section 14 out of 15 of the Capital Ring walk. Starting from Hackney Wick station, we will walk along the Greenway, past Abbey Mills pumping station and Greenway Community orchard and finish in Beckton District Park.
We will be walking for approximately two hours with a break in between. The pathways are mainly on level tarmac paths with a few moderate slopes but it is mainly flat, and there shouldn't be any issues with mud even if it has been raining.
I'll keep a watch on the forecast and will cancel the event a day or two before if the weather is looking bad. Keep an eye on the event chat which I'll update a day or two before to confirm we are going ahead.
We will meet just outside Hackney Wick overground station at 10:45 at the White Post Lane exit (North side). Unless there is a transport issue affecting everyone, we will aim to start off on the walk at 11am. I will add my location tracking on Glympse so if you are late, we will not wait but you will be able to catch us up.
After the walk at Beckton I am planning on heading to a local pub for a drink and a bite to eat. If you are up for coming along please indicate in the comments. I'm estimating we would reach the end of the walk at Beckton for around 13:00. The nearest station to the endpoint is Royal Albert, however I understand this station is closed on the Sunday of the walk and the nearest next open DLR station is Prince Regent, around 15 minutes walk.
Regent’s Canal, Coffee & Conversation: Angel to King’s Cross
Join us for a relaxed Sunday afternoon exploring Regent's Canal from Angel to Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square.
This is a friendly social walk for people who enjoy good conversation, meeting new people and discovering interesting parts of London. We'll stroll at an easy pace along the canal, passing colourful narrowboats, waterside cafés and some of London's most characterful urban scenery.
London Wanderers attracts a mix of people who enjoy getting out, exploring the city and spending time with friendly, interesting company. Many people come on their own, so there's no need to know anyone beforehand, and new members are always welcome.
We'll finish around Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square, where anyone who would like to stay can join for a coffee, food or drink afterwards.
Whether you're looking to meet new people, expand your social circle or simply enjoy a pleasant Sunday in good company, we'd love to see you there.
A quick favour: if your plans change and you're no longer able to attend, please update your RSVP. It helps everyone know who to expect and makes planning much easier.
FIRST MEETUP: London Bridge Sunset Walk + Borough Bites.. For Free...
**FIRST MEETUP: London Bridge Sunset Walk + Borough Bites**
**Hey, I'm Flinty (25). I come through London Bridge every day on my way home and honestly, I'm fed up doing the same solo walk. So I thought, why not turn it into a social?**
**This is a no-pressure first meetup to find cool people who want to explore London after work and plan cheap trips out of it. If you're new here, bored of your routine, or just want mates who actually leave the house, this is for you.**
**WHAT TO EXPECT / AGENDA**
**• 5:30pm: Meet outside London Bridge Station (Tooley Street exit, right by The Shard, next to the big 'London Bridge' sign). I will be there 10 mins early.**
**• 6:40pm: Quick intros, no awkward circle, just names and what area you are from.**
**• 6:45pm to 7:30pm: Walk along the Thames to Tower Bridge and back via Southbank. Easy pace, good for chatting.**
**• 7:30pm to 8:30pm: Stop at Borough Market for food. Grab whatever you want, no set spend.**
**• 8:30pm onwards: Optional drink at The Barrowboy and Banker pub for anyone who wants to stay. No pressure to drink.**
**We will finish by 9pm so you can still get home.**
**WHO IT'S FOR**
**20s and 30s, locals, internationals, anyone who is tired of London feeling boring. Small group, aiming for 8 to 12 max for the first one so it's not overwhelming.**
**WHAT TO BRING**
**• Comfortable shoes (we will walk about 3km)**
**• Oyster card or contactless**
**• A light jacket, it gets windy by the river**
**• About £10 to £20 for food or a drink if you want it**
**• Good vibes only**
**HOW TO FIND THE GROUP**
**This is NOT dating, NOT a party promo, NOT a networking pitch. Just people who want to make London more fun and help each other survive it. Come even if you are shy, we will look out for you.**
FREEHAND MACHINE EMBROIDERY
**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/freehand-machine-embroidery-56/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/freehand-machine-embroidery-56/)
**⋆⋆⋆**
Join us for a one day workshop devoted to becoming creative and experimental with freehand machine embroidery, even if you are wary of the outcome! If you are confident with a machine you can increase your range of abilities by learning new techniques.
Take home your creation as a cushion cover or in a glass frame.
Learn from Deborah Andrews, who teaches our basic sewing classes as well as being an artist and Illustrator.
Even if you have never used a sewing machine before, with Deborah’s support and encouragement, you will develop techniques using a freehand needle on a domestic machine.
**Morning – Part one.**
In the morning you will ‘warm up’ by experimenting with ‘Couching’, ‘Applique’ and ‘trapunto’ techniques to enliven your design and enhance your work with interesting ‘3D’ effects. Using a palette of inspiring textiles and coloured threads, you will learn how to control an ordinary sewing machine by guiding the sewing foot to produce stitches that patch, embroider and script under your guidance.
**Afternoon – Part two.**
After selecting from our furnishing fabric selection or deciding on a plain linen background, you can build a unique creation using your own ideas or adapting our selection of templates if you prefer more structure.
We supply coloured threads, an embroidery hoop, a large selection of scrap fabric and soft furnishing weight fabrics and cottons as your surface. You can bring your own fabric if you wish and any sketches and ideas you have for a project.
Unleash your creativity and let your ideas emerge in front of your eyes.
The use of all tools and materials are included.

RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

Volunteer Opportunity
Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization.
There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p.
There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+.
There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks.
As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage.
Harry from the Open Shelter will be your contact.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Dinner at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
