De qué se trata
Metropolitan Walkers is the largest London-based Ramblers group for people in their 20s and 30s.
All our planned walks can be found at https://www.metropolitan-walkers.org.uk/wal... We publish to MeetUp to showcase our activities to a wider audience!
If you've not walked with us before, you’re welcome to come along on three free walks before becoming a member, to see if Met Walkers is for you! Membership is around £38 per year, or £27 concessionary rate.
We’re a very active group. Our volunteers lead walks every weekend, ranging from short, leisurely walks to strenuous hikes of 17+ miles across hilly terrain. We also lead one evening stroll during the week, discovering different parts of the capital.
We explore the beautiful areas near London such as the North Downs, south coast and Chilterns, all of which are accessible by public transport.
A lot of our members walk regularly, which is a great way to form friendships. As well as walking, we have a regular social programme.
We regularly run weekends away to explore the other great walking areas the UK has to offer, such as the Lake District, Snowdonia and Scotland, and have also put on several trips abroad.
We’re part of the Ramblers – the charity that helps everyone, everywhere, enjoy walking; and protects the places we all love to walk.

Ver todo- Pembroke Lodge Gardens and Isabella Plantation (6 miles/Leisurely)Richmond Station, TW9 2NA
Metropolitan Walkers is part of the Ramblers, Britain's walking charity. All welcome for 3 'taster' walks, after which please join the Ramblers - info on the Met Walkers website
The goal of this walk is to visit the spectacular spring blooms in Richmond Park. We'll be visiting in the evening, rather than at a weekend, to avoid the worst of the crowds - but that does mean we need to start a little earlier than usual and move at a fairly brisk pace to make the most of the daylight.
We will follow the river out of Richmond and head up into the park, passing over King Henry's Mound (with its protected view all the way to St Paul's Cathedral) and through Pembroke Lodge's gardens before heading on to Isabella Plantation where hopefully the spectacular Azalea displays will be in full bloom.
To finish off, we'll head into Kingston where you are welcome to join us for a drink in the pub at the end of the walk.
Please make sure you are on time for the start of the walk. We will need to leave promptly at 18:30 to make it to the Isabella Plantation in good light to see the best of the colours, so we won't be able to wait for any late comers.
**Dogs: **dogs are not permitted in the Pembroke Lodge gardens, so if you want to bring a dog you will have to bypass that stretch of the walk and meet us at the exit. They are allowed in the rest of Richmond Park and Isabella Plantation, but must be kept on a lead as it is the start of the deer birthing season.
