London Royal Parks Walk (7 Miles) 2026

We're raising as much as we can to beat cancer

Story

London Royal Parks 7 Mile Walk Overview London is always evolving, and this route gives you the chance to enjoy some of its most famous sights from a fresh perspective. We’ve shortened the challenge from previous years to make it more accessible, while still delivering a fantastic day out in the capital. The walk begins with a loop of Battersea Park before heading over Chelsea Bridge and along the Thames, taking in some of London’s most recognisable landmarks before finishing in Kensington Gardens. Day Schedule Start location: Battersea Park, by the toilets, around 30 yards from the Bandstand Check-in: 10:30am Please arrive no later than 10:40am Start time: 11:00am Lunch / refreshments stop: approximately 1:00pm Finish: approximately 2:00–2:30pm at Kensington Gardens, with the option to stay afterwards for a drink. Route Information The final route will be confirmed closer to the event once all reconnaissance walks have been completed. As with previous years, Challenge Central will fully guide the group throughout the day and, because of the shorter distance, every effort will be made to keep the group together.
