Want to visit hundreds of film locations, meet new people and get fit?
To coincide with the 55th BFI Film Festival, the Ramblers are running a programme of 16 "Films on Foot" walks around London visiting more than 400 movie locations from Mayfair to the Isle of Dogs.
Between the 12th and 27th of October, one walk a day will visit dozens of big screen sites including famous landmarks and "hidden" corners of the capital, rarely visited by most Londoners. All walks are free, colourfully commentated - and will end at a pub.
Ranging from 3 to 8 miles, they will be led by film-loving volunteers from the London Strollers, Metropolitan Walkers, Capital Walkers and South Bank Ramblers groups.
The weekday walks will all start at 7pm, weekend walks at 1.30pm.
Eleanor Harris, Films on Foot Festival organiser, said: “The Films on Foot walks are a fantastic way to let Londoners discover a different side to their city. We also want to encourage Londoners to try out walking with the Ramblers - it's a great way to get fit, make new friends and discover different parts of the UK. The Films on Foot Festival has been a great hit with Londoners: last year more than 700 people joined a film location walk. Anyone with an interest in films, walking or just meeting new people and having fun cannot afford to miss these walks!"
Why not try a self-guided film walk along the South Bank?
