The route

Our route is fully accessible, well-marshalled by volunteers and can be taken at your own pace.

Both the 5.5k and 10k routes start and finish at 26 Leake Street, near Waterloo Station. From there, you'll walk over Westminster Bridge and follow the Thames east.

The 5.5k route crosses the Millennium Bridge to return along the South Bank.

The 10k route continues further to the Tower of London and over Tower Bridge before looping back.

How your walk helps end the housing emergency

We're fighting for a future where everyone has a safe home. Many people don’t know where to turn for help. People living in unsafe or unfit housing. People with no permanent place to call home. 

The incredible funds you raise will help defend everyone's right to a safe and secure home. Join us and stand with people facing homelessness or housing injustice.
