London Rivers Week 2026: River Roding guided walk (Ray Park to Debden)
Celebrate London Rivers Week by joining the River Roding Trust on one (or more!) of their free guided walks along some beautiful stretches of London’s 3rd longest river.
On Saturday 30th May, we will stroll upriver from Redbridge towards Debden in two stages, observing how the Roding’s shape has altered over time and appreciating its rich biodiversity. Along the way, we will showcase some of the conservation and restoration work the Friends of the River Roding have carried out in recent years and imagine together what more can be achieved in the future.
There is of course, no obligation to attend both stages, but please ensure you make separate Eventbrite bookings for each one you do wish to attend.
Please wear comfortable shoes. Also, trousers or leggings – and ideally sleeves – are recommended due to nettles encroaching on some sections of the route; a bottle of water is also recommended.
Under-18s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/carer.
Book your place here.
All our events and activities are open to communities.
Corporate groups, please book with Thames21 using our corporate volunteering page
