The Furzedown Strollers
Do you want to take some exercise outdoors? Do you enjoy doing activities with other people? Then the Furzedown Strollers Group is just what you are looking for. We go on short, local walks, usually on Tooting Common.
We meet at 10:00am on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Furzedown Project, please check at reception. Robert Liston is the group leader pobble@cix.co.uk.
The Project Perambulators
The Project’s Perambulators is our long established walking group that typically offers walks of between 5 and 10 miles within easy travelling distance from the Project. This will generally be in the countryside near London or exploring parks, woods and water courses in London.
In addition we will organise occasional shorter walks that explore London’s rich history. Each walk is mapped, scouted and led by an experienced guide. We usually meet at the Project and aim to have at least one walk each month. We welcome new walkers.
The new lead is Philip Bradley, if you’re interested in joining our next walk please email southlondoner23@gmail.com
Next Perambulators walks:
Regent’s Canal 4th December
Our last walk of 2025 will be a canal side stroll from Paddington to Kings Cross, via (Little) Venice. This level walk of about 5 1/2 miles takes in contrasting sights of the thrusting modern developments at Paddington and King’s Cross and long, almost rural stretches of the historic Regents Canal as it passes London Zoo and Camden Lock.
We will finish at the Camley Park Nature Reserve run by the London Wildlife Trust where there is a chance to get a light lunch. And at Coal Drops Yard, just by Kings Cross, you will be able to finish off your Christmas Shopping at the many boutiques and upmarket retail outlets!
We will meet at the Furzedown Project at 9.30 am on Thursday 4th December and catch the tube to Paddington. We should be at Kings Cross by early afternoon where we will catch the tube back to Tooting.
If you’re interested in joining the walk please email Philip Bradley southlondoner23@gmail.com
