WALKING PEOPLE
AT YOUR
SERVICE
IN THE CITY OF LONDON
In association with
WALKING IS GOOD
FOR BUSINESS
We are Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday
walking. For more than 85 years we’ve been a beacon
for this simple act. In our early days our campaigning
led to the UK’s first zebra crossings and speed limits.
Now our campaigns, projects and services deliver real
change to overcome barriers to walking and
our groundbreaking initiatives encourage
millions of people to walk.
Walking is an integral part of all our lives and
it can provide a simple, low cost solution to the
increasing levels of long-term health conditions
caused by physical inactivity.
Proven to have positive effects on both mental and
physical health, walking can help reduce absenteeism
and staff turnover and increase productivity levels.

RICHARD
RICHARD IS ONE OF OUR WALKING EXPERTS,
DEDICATED TO DELIVERING WALKING
PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF LONDON.
INTRODUCING OUR SERVICES
We’ve been working in partnership with the City of London
since 2010, running a range of initiatives to encourage
people to walk more within, to and from the City.
As part of our relationship with the City of London which
funds the post of our London Coordinator, Richard
Lambert, we are able to lend some expertise to promote
walking at no cost. In addition, we have a range of
paid-for services that can be tailored to fit your needs.
FACE TO FACE WALK DOCTOR CONSULTATIONS
Our popular walk doctor events are a fun and effective
way to promote active travel by talking to your staff about
their travel habits and providing advice on how to build
walking into their day.
WALKING MAPS
Walking maps give people the know-how and confidence
to walk more. Tapping into our local knowledge of the City
we can create custom-made walking maps including your
office locations, points of interest and bespoke walking
trails to help employees explore the City on their doorstep.
LED WALKS AND WALK LEADER TRAINING
We can design a programme of led walks to run at times
to suit you. If you have the interest in-house we can
train walk leaders to champion walking from within your
organisation. We offer a simple training package that
covers route planning, organisation and risk management.
DIGITAL WALKING TRAILS
Living Streets has an exclusive arrangement with
Crumbs, the city trail app, combining elements of
treasure hunt, walking tours and local knowledge quiz.
We can create bespoke trails for your staff to download
and follow, which begin and end at locations of your
choice, and on any theme.
COMMUNITY STREET AUDITS
Our unique community street audits evaluate commonly
walked routes from the perspective of the people who use
them. We will support your employees to assess the local
area around your office and create recommendations for
making the area more walking friendly.
EVENT PACKAGES
Every May is Living Streets’ National Walking Month, and
this could be a great time to launch walking activity within
your organisation. You may also have a wellbeing week in
the calendar – we can design bespoke packages to cover
the walking elements; including e-comms to your staff
with daily walking tips.

There’s so much history and architecture that stretches back hundreds of

09.16
(approx. 60 minutes)
We developed a bespoke walking map; a Crumbs app
trail that began at their headquarters; and provided
expert consultation directly to their staff on-site. The map
included walking routes with different themes, taking in
many of the City’s sites of interest.
Continue on the path along the northside of the Tower, under
Tower Bridge Road, you are now entering St Katharine’s Dock, which
you can walk along the western edge before ending up on the
Thames Path (signposted).
