London Mandala Sponsored Walk

Walk between Triratna's four Buddhist centres across London to raise money for Globe Community Project. Meet new people, rack up some steps and help create communities where everyone feels welcome and connected.

From Bethnal Green to Highbury, to Royal Oak to Brixton, then back to Bethnal Green, join us for one stage or take on the full 24-mile route. You'll be walking alongside others who want to make a difference.

As we journey across the city, we’ll pass through leafy parks, along canal towpaths, encounter birds and animals, as well as lively streets and local neighbourhoods, seeing London from a different perspective.

This isn't a race, it's about enjoying the journey, sharing conversations, making new connections and spending time together.

Along the way, we'll stop at each Buddhist centre for around 45 minutes to rest, enjoy refreshments, use the facilities and spend time together before continuing our journey. These breaks are a chance to recharge, meet fellow walkers and enjoy the warm welcome at each centre.

You don't have to complete the whole route. You're welcome to join us for one stage, a few stages or the full day. Whatever distance you choose, you'll be part of one community walking together through London.
