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.
We walk through suburban Kingston to Richmond Park and then up to the Isabella Plantation before swinging around to leave via Ham Gate. We continue across Ham Common and cross the River Thames at Teddington Lock. We walk through Teddington to reach Bushy Park where the lunch stop will be at the Pheasantry Cafe.
Packed lunch is recommended however snacks and hot drinks are available at the lunch stop.
In the afternoon we will walk around the lake in Bushy Park to reach the Hampton Court gate and from there enter Hampton Court Park walking up beside The Long Water to reach the River Thames towpath. We complete the walk beside the River and finish at Kingston Station.
Drop out points are available at Teddington Station in the morning and Hampton Court Station in the afternoon.
No booking required.
No dogs.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
