Welcome to Walk East

On a walk, you can discover more about your local area, take a proactive approach to managing your health and wellbeing, and enjoy shared social time with friends, family and colleagues. Walking can give you an all-round lift, for mind, body and soul.

At Walk East we aim to share the pleasures and benefits of walking – for discovery, health and wellbeing, and community – with East London residents and visitors. Some of our recent projects include leading photo-walk courses, organising workplace walks, managing weekly health walks, and creating newspaper and video walks.

Each project is tailor-made to meet the priorities and needs of the community groups and clubs, schools, council and NHS departments, private companies and charitable bodies that work with us. And we design our projects to be sustainable, to have a lasting impact on attitudes towards walking in East London.

We’d love to hear from you, so get in touch for an initial chat about your project. Whether you have a clear view of your brief or you want us to devise a walking programme from scratch, let’s see what we can shape up together.

Walk East is a not-for-profit social enterprise, based in Tower Hamlets. Each year, we donate a chunk of our profits and time to support tree-planting and environmental projects in East London, with our partner Trees for Cities.
