London Rivers Week 2026: Source to Sea – Walking the Ravensbourne (Part 1)

To mark London Rivers Week, join Creekside Discovery Centre on this special two-part free walk following the Ravensbourne River from its source to where it meets the Thames – exploring the landscapes, wildlife and stories of the river along the way.

Often hidden, diverted or overlooked, the Ravensbourne flows through woods, parks and neighbourhoods, shaping the places it passes through in ways that are easy to miss. Walking the river in stages offers a chance to see it as a whole, from clear spring-fed beginnings to tidal estuary.

Meet at Keston Ponds.

We’ll follow the upper reaches of the Ravensbourne through woodland and parkland, finishing in Beckenham.

Book your place here.

All U18s must be accompanied by an adult.

If you sign up for the event but later find that you can’t attend, please let the organisers know as soon as possible. This way, we can offer your spot to someone else who would love to participate.
