Our volunteers Chris, Dave and Keith having been braving the heat in Banstead, repairing several way marking posts and clearing debris blocking signs between Sections 6 & 7 of the London Loop. Sections 6 & 7 are connected via Banstead Downs Golf Club, these new signs should help walkers navigate the route without crossing a fairway!

These sections are where the London Loop began 25 years ago, and it’s thanks to the ongoing efforts of our volunteers that they can be easily navigated by all.

We couldn't agree more!

That's why we're proud to be partnering with Mayor of London to improve walking access to London's rivers over the next decade.

The Clean Rivers and Waterways Plan aims to:
🌊 increase publicly accessible waterside paths in areas which currently have the least access;
🛠️ improve the quality and condition of existing paths;
🔓 improve connection to the existing walking network.

Access to nature isn't a luxury; it's a right. That's why we are campaigning for governments across the UK to expand and protect the path network, so that it serves every community.
