Organised walks in Camden

Hampstead Heath Leisurely Group

Bookings are no longer required, simply turn up to the meeting place.

This walk is suitable for people living with health conditions or mobility issues. Mobility aids welcome. Suitable for slower walkers. There is a sister walk (Hampstead Heath challenging walk) that goes from Hampstead Heath overground station at the same time.

Hampstead Heath Challenging Group

Every Monday (except bank holidays) at 9:50am
Meeting point: Hampstead Heath Overground station. 

Bookings are no longer required, simply turn up to the meeting place. 

This walk goes across the Heath following a different route each week, often diverging from the main paths, so be prepared for uneven ground and walking uphill. After about an hour, the group stops for refreshments at Kenwood or Parliament Hill Café, occasionally venturing further afield to Golders Hill Park. Participants can either make their own way home or join the walk leaders to return by a shorter route to the starting point opposite Hampstead Heath Overground station. Please wear shoes comfortable for walking in and bear in mind that the Heath can be muddy. You don’t need anything special but avoid open-toed shoes and smooth soles.

Likewise Walk

Every Tuesday at 1pm
Meeting point: Likewise, 8 Fairhazel Gardens, NW6 3SG
Feel free to drop in to our welcoming, weekly, walking group.

If you’re looking to gently increase your physical activity and meet new people, our weekly excursions around the local area might be just the ticket. Walks start at the Likewise Hub and take in different local spots each week – we’re lucky to have some great green space nearby, and often stop for a coffee and a chat along the way. 

We want our walks to be open to as many people as possible. A Likewise team member will be present in the group if you have any questions along the way, but if there’s anything else we can do to support you to attend please let us know.

Informal walks in Camden

Belsize Walk and Walk Guide

From Primrose Hill to Parliament Hill, a two- and half-hour leisure walk through Camden, seeing architectural and historical buildings and places of interest along the way. This walk is not led by a walk leader but can be completed by everyone, and includes places to sit and stop.

To start the walk and for more information on locations and maps please view Belsize Walk Guide (PDF) and Belsize Walk Poster (PDF).
 

Walking Tube Map

Walking can be a quick and easy alternative to the tube when getting around London and of course it is free and comes with all the mental and physical health benefits that physical activity can provide. The TFL’s walking tube map shows how long it takes to walk between stations on the same line, this is especially useful during the busiest times which are between 05:45-08:15 and 16:00-17:30 Monday to Friday. 

Footways

Footways is a network of quiet and enjoyable routes for walking in London. To view their maps and more information visit the Footways webpage.
