The Amblers Walking Group is for those who like to walk at a moderate pace and stop along the way to admire the view. Walks, usually with a cafe stop, are up to five miles and last around three hours, plus travel time. They are a little less strenuous than the Shorter Walks Group. For advertised walks see Our Next Ambles programme below.  We send all group members an email reminder a week before.  We also plan ad hoc walks which are weekend afternoon strolls close to Islington, and are advertised about a week before by email. There is no need to sign up in advance, but you must read the guidelines before going, viewable here: Guidelines 


Our focus for 2026 is on the rich heritage of parks, commons and woods in the Greater London area.  Dates and locations of walks for the next few months are shown below. Links to the next walk's details will be posted here and an email reminder will be issued about a week before each walk.
