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.
On the 9th of January 2010, an intrepid group of explorers set out from the Metropolitan Walkers to set up a new walking group for working age people across Greater London with a walk through the snow from Eltham to North Greenwich via the Green Chain Walks and the Thames Path.
Tenth anniversary celebrations were stymied by the viral unpleasantness that was abroad in the winter of 2020-21, so we're (unusually) celebrating our 15th Anniversary with a recreation of that first walk.
On the way, we'll see some great views of London, Elthan Palace, Severndroog Castle, the Thames barrier, and the tennis courts from the final scene of Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up (1966).
