About this Event

Join us as we walk 23km together across the Capital, taking in unrivalled views of London’s skyline and the city’s most historic landmarks.
Setting out from Putney Bridge, we begin our journey eastward along the Thames - zig‑zagging across 16 iconic bridges, each with its own fascinating story and place in London’s cultural heartbeat.
Midway through the challenge, we plan to pause at the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens for a well‑earned rest stop with snacks, drinks and a chance to recharge with fellow walkers.
Then it’s onward towards the City - Twenty‑three kilometres later, we arrive to a celebration at Potters Field Park / Old London City Hall, greeted by the majestic sight of Tower Bridge, a fitting finale to an unforgettable day of community, purpose and impact.
Every step you take helps support The Kula Foundation’s mission and the projects we fund, design and uplift. Thank you for being part of this journey.
