We are the West Kent Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is the first of our Capital Ring walks. There is no obligation to do all of them - you can pick and choose the ones that you fancy…
We will meet at 10am outside Woolwich Arsenal station. There are plenty of trains from London Bridge and some coffee shops nearby for those who like to arrive early
Our first destination will be down to the Woolwich Ferry which is the official start of the Capital Ring – and where we will finish next year! We follow the river up to the Thames Barrier and then head inland past Charlton House onto Woolwich Common. We then tick off Eltham Common before heading up Shooters Hill. We will stop for lunch at a café in Oxleas Meadows which has great views – if we are lucky with the weather…
In the afternoon we skirt along-side Eltham Warren Golf Club, follow King Johns walk (nope I had never heard of it either) for a short stretch before arriving at Eltham Palace where we will stop for an afternoon break. It is then a short walk to Grove Park with regular trains to London – or a short bus journey to Bromley and services to Kent
This is a no dog walk
Meet outside Woolwich Arsenal train station
We finish at Grove Park station
