Walking and Cycling

Walking

Are you looking to get out walking and meeting new people? Walking is a healthy and accessible way to become more active.

Ramblers Wellbeing Walks Westminster organises short and friendly walks in and around Westminster. You’ll receive a warm welcome and plenty of support to make it easier to get active and stay active.

All walks are led by trained local residents who are enthusiastic and understanding of walker’s abilities. With a focus on socialising and exploration the walks cater to your own pace.

Additional support for low-income residents is available on bicycles and folding bikes, including a free 3-month trial and 1-2-1 cycle training on delivery for residents in the following areas that fit the criteria:

  • Queens’ Park
  • Westbourne
