Walking tours in the parks

Discover the hidden secrets of London’s historic green spaces on a Royal Parks walking tour.

Our monthly walking tours let you experience the Royal Parks from a whole new perspective - you'll learn more, see more, discover more and experience more than you ever thought possible.

Go behind the scenes on Duck Island in St James's Park, or come and meet Hyde Park’s native bats during a wonderful chance to walk in the park at night. If history is more your thing, discover the important role that Hyde Park played in the World Wars or visit the site that inspired J.M. Barrie to write the famous Peter Pan stories.

Our walking tours last from one to two hours, covering approximately 1.5 miles, with plenty of time to stop and take in the beautiful surroundings of London’s magical Royal Parks.

We offer two free spaces for people on a low income. For more information on eligibility and how to book please call Richard Pering on 0300 061 2281 or email at rpering@royalparks.org.uk.

Upcoming walking tours

Check our upcoming events page for details of tours coming up in the next couple of months.
