Latest News
Capital Ring Walk CANCELLED
With another storm forecast to hit the UK, London is expected to experience heavy rainfall and strong winds on Saturday. Given the conditions, we feel it is best to cancel it for safety reasons. There is also a possibility that the IFS Cloud Cable Car we were going to use may not operate in these conditions.
We’re really sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to this lovely walk, but the walk leader, Tony, hopes to rearrange it for the spring.
Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for any inconvenience caused.
