Discover London After Dark

Join us for the GLOW Winter Walk, a magical 10km evening walk through the heart of London.

Starting and finishing at Walker's of Whitehall, you'll follow a circular route that takes you past some of the capital's most iconic sights, beautifully illuminated against the winter night sky. 

As you make your way through the city, you'll enjoy a vibrant atmosphere alongside fellow supporters, all coming together to raise vital funds for mental health.

The route is predominantly paved and relatively flat, making it suitable for walkers of all abilities.

Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, supporting your own mental health journey, or simply looking for a unique winter experience, every step you take will help Mental Health UK continue its life-changing work.

Wrap up warm, light up the night, and experience London as we walk together to support better mental health for everyone. 💙✨
