London Summer Walk: Charity Walking Challenge for St Clare Hospice

Make the most of London in the summer and take on the London Summer Walk – all in aid of St Clare Hospice

Get your walking shoes ready for a journey through some of London’s lesser‑known historic corners, following a route that traces the Thames’s eastern stretch and the old ‘gateway to the Capital’.

Beginning beside the impressive Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks – just a short stroll from the Elizabeth Line, DLR, and Overground – you can take on a full marathon loop that winds right into the heart of London, a 25km loop that includes the highlights of Greenwich, or a 10km route if you prefer something shorter.

Each route is rich with history, packed with iconic views, and supported from start to finish. A lively warm‑up sets the tone, and the day wraps up with a BBQ meal, bar, and music – an ideal way to celebrate the end of summer.
