Why hike with GO London Hiking?
More than just a hike — a chance to explore incredible places, meet great people and enjoy the outdoors with a welcoming community.
Qualified leaders, safety first
Every trip is led by a MT qualified, first-aid trained hike leader who handles navigation, timing and group safety — with deep knowledge of the trail, terrain and how the weather can turn underfoot.
No car, no problem
Most hikes meet at a central London station with direct public transport straight to the trailhead. Hop on a train, and we'll take it from there.
Carefully planned trails & itineries
We carefully select and plan every route to deliver more than just a walk. From hidden countryside paths to iconic landscapes, each hike is chosen for its scenery, challenge and sense of adventure.
Great value adventures
We believe amazing hiking experiences should be accessible. Our pricing is clear and fair, with no hidden extras — so you know exactly what you’re getting before you book.
A community that keeps coming back
Our community brings together Londoners, expats and outdoor lovers who enjoy exploring, connecting and sharing adventures together.

Safety Is Our Priority On Every Adventure
Whether we're hiking near London or travelling further afield, your safety is paramount to us. Our leaders are trained in first aid and wilderness navigation, with the experience to manage routes, changing conditions and the needs of the group.
We keep our groups small so our leaders can give people the attention and support they need. We also have emergency response plans in place and monitor trail conditions to help ensure every hike is as safe and well prepared as possible.
Before each hike, we provide clear information about the route, physical requirements and difficulty level, so you can arrive prepared and know what to expect.
What our hikers say
New to hiking with us?
Common questions
Do I need to be fit or have experience to join?
Not at all. Our day hikes range from easy countryside strolls to longer strenuous treks, so you'll have no trouble finding routes pitched at your level. Each event lists a difficulty grading, along with distance and ascent, so you can pick what suits you.
Who leads the hikes?
Every hike is led by a Mountain Training qualified, insured, first-aid trained guide with genuine experience in navigation, group safety and the terrain we're walking.
What should I bring?
You’ll need suitable (but not necessarily hiking) footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, water, snacks, and a packed lunch for most day hikes. Full kit guidance is provided for each event.
Do people come on their own?
Absolutely. A lot of our hikers join by themselves, and many say it’s one of the best ways they’ve met people in London. The relaxed, social atmosphere makes it easy to start conversations, enjoy the walk together and become part of the group.
How do I get there?
Most hikes meet in central London stations before travelling together by train to the trailhead. Full meeting instructions are provided for each event.
What if the weather is bad?
Hikes usually go ahead in most weather conditions - come prepared with the right layers. Leaders will adjust routes or timings if conditions are unsafe.
