Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
You're Invited!
Join us for a joyous VE Day celebration as we gather to honour the past and celebrate peace
Meet at 11.00 at St James Park Underground - take the Broadway exit . Meet outside the ticket barriers near 55 Broadway sign
From St James Park Underground station, we’ll take a short walk to St. James’s Park, where we’ll find (space permitting) a great picnic spot near what 3 words location of nature.serve.sling which is near the Marlborough Gate Kiosk, Marlborough Gate and the Bandstand (now removed)- see map in photos . You are free to join and leave us whenever it suits you.
If the space is full a new location will be posted on the Capital Walkers Facebook page on the day.
Bring your own picnic, grab a blanket, and enjoy a spectacular military procession from Whitehall to Buckingham Palace, followed by an incredible flypast featuring both historic and modern aircraft, including the legendary Red Arrows!
As we commemorate this historic day, the Cenotaph will be draped in Union Flags, providing a solemn and powerful reminder of those who gave their lives during World War II. Let’s come together to remember, reflect, and rejoice in the peace their sacrifice helped secure.
⚠️ Weather Notice: In the event of a Yellow Warning for storms, the flypast is likely to be cancelled, and St. James’s Park may be closed. Please check updates on the day via our Facebook page or event postings.
Pack your picnic baskets, bring your flags, and let's make this a day to remember!
We look forward to celebrating with you.
