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 start with the riverside at Putney and finish along the riverside at Richmond. On the way will take in Putney Common, Putney Heath, Wimbledon Common, Richmond Park and Ham Common.
The walk will encompass riverside, brookside, common land, parkland, lakeside and some suburban walking.
We may or may not see any deer but there will be ducks on the river for certain.
Packed lunch is recommended however snacks and hot drinks are available at the lunch stop.
Lavatory facilities are available at an hour into the walk on Wimbledon Common and at the lunch stop
