The Association of Bloomsbury Squares and Gardens invites you on brisk walks around Bloomsbury to improve your circulation and increase your weekly step count.
Walks are led by the expert Camden Guides and include a brief stop at the halfway point to hear a few fascinating facts about the location before walking on.
Please note, this is a wellbeing walk, not a guided tour.
How it works
Just turn up on the day for a one hour walk. Spaces are limited and walks go ahead in all weathers. Joining the walks is free.
