Walking Groups
We aim to offer a range of walks to suit differing abilities and interests.
Garden Walks
The new ‘Garden Walks’ will be an opportunity to walk around beautiful gardens on the first Monday and last Friday every month. The Monday walking group will use public transport on the first Monday and the Friday walking group will travel by minibus (spaces limited, please book). Light refreshments provided.
Next Garden walk:
Chelsea Physic Garden: Monday 7th April. Meet Debbie at 10am at the Project and take public transport to the garden (with refreshments).

Step into Fridays
‘Step into Friday’ will be on the first Friday of every month, which will use our minibus to reach starting points for interesting walks, the first one will be to Wimbledon Common on 2nd May.

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.
Next Perambulators walks:

Mostly riverside paths and tracks, some road walking. We follow the Jubilee river, a flood relief channel taking excess water from the Thames. We pass Dorney Lake and then on to the Thames. We then walk along the Thames Path for 4km until Maidenhead bridge. The route continues to Taplow village with its traditional village green before returning to Taplow Station.
