    About Big Fun Walk

    Big Fun Walk is North London Hospice’s one of our most popular fundraising events. Started over 20 years ago by one of the hospice’s support groups. Each year, over 1,200 people join together to walk from East Finchley to Westminster.

    Taking in the city’s most famous landmarks, including breath-taking views of the city at the top of Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill, the walk raises vital funds for North London Hospice.

    Big Fun Walk 2026 - Every Step Holds A Story

    In 2026 over 1,050 fantastic members of our community came together to weave their own story through 
    London; a journey filled with laughter, remembrance and purpose, each step echoing with stories of lives lived and love that lasts.

    We are really pleased to announce that Big Fun Walk 2026 has raised over £175,000, with more still coming. A huge thank you to all of our incredible participants.
