The London Walk is a night walk through London. Starting and finishing near Trafalgar Square with a variety of distances available for people. From a 10k to marathon.  

Places cost £40 each and the fundraising targets are £200 for the 10k, £300 for half marathon and £400 for the marathon length. All funds raised will go to your favourite homeless charity or walk for us the London Homeless Collective and support the city as a whole.

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.
