Join us at The London Walk 2026!

About the Event

The London Walk 2026 is a night walk through the central London, raising funds for charities supporting people experiencing homelessness. Organised by the London Homeless Collective, it is the only event that brings charities working in homelessness together.  Walking through the night offers an opportunity for reflection on the experience of people who are homeless. Not just people who are forced to sleep on the streets but those who walk through the night, travel on night buses or access 24 hour retail sites in order to stay awake and stay safe. In particular young people, trans people and women, who are all especially vulnerable to violence and exploitation.

Please note this event is strictly walking only – so no jogging or running is allowed.

What to Expect on the Night

This year the London Walk will be taking place on the night of Friday March 20th. There will be three routes available; a 10K, half marathon and marathon through Central London. Starting and finishing at The Connection St Martin’s in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square.

For the 10k registration starts at 7pm and the walk will leave at 8pm. Walkers doing the half or full marathon will then register from 8.15pm and the walk will leave at 9pm. Approximate finish times for the walks are as follows: 10k – 10pm, half marathon – 1am, marathon – 5am.

There will marshals on hand across the routes to guide you and refreshments provided. There are toilets available at the starting venue and each loop of 10k comes back there.
