Public Sector Challenge - London Bridges Walk 2027

Join hundreds of public sector colleagues, private sector partners, friends, and families as we stride across London’s iconic bridges in support of national charities such as Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation or you can select other local charities through our registration and fundraising site powered by Give wheel. After a phenomenal turnout in January 2026 of over 1000 participants, the London Bridges Walk returns with even more energy, colour, and purpose

Whether you choose the 25km route from Furnival Gardens (Hammersmith) crossing 16 bridges of the River Thames or the 15km route from Battersea Park, this challenge is designed to be inclusive, inspiring, and impactful. Expect scenic riverside views, camaraderie, and a vibrant trail of purple as participants wear the official walk colour to raise awareness and funds. The finish venue is at St Katherines Docks near Tower Bridge where you will receive your medal from our sporting celebrity.
