Re-Walking the Trail 2024-2025

Re-walking InspiralLondon Trail 2024-2025.

In 2015 an intrepid group of walking artists finished mapping a new spiral trail, tracing a pathway through 30 London Boroughs. As we near the trails 10^th anniversary InspiralLondon invites new communities, individuals, and groups to re-discover their city through this unique inspiralling walk. During 2024 and into Summer 2025, we will re-walk, and re-tell, the story of this 300 mile trail as we re-spiral through London.

Re/Walk Festival – Excavate, Explore, Exchange. Join us to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of InspiralLondon Trail (May 2025-July 2025)

Re/Walk Festival – Excavate, Explore, Exchange – Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of InspiralLondon Trail with a festival of seven plus seven, unique walks as participatory experiences. The festival walks will take you to other hidden and less well-known parts of the city; detouring from the trail, in exploring underexplored, buried aspects of the city or walking together by night.

We wish to share the magic and multiplicity of the city with all its diverse inhabitants, and to get you walking; to explore the city with renewed curiosity, by excavating the other buried narratives and histories that make London so unique. Together, we will re/walk and re/make the city by foot.

Re/walk is generously supported by tfl WCGL grant, the Royal Borough of Greenwich and other walking group partners such as Kinetika T-100, Walking Artist Network and soundcamp

(Re: Walking InspiralLondon 2024-2025 – taking time to contemplate the variety and beauty of cityscape)

Re-walking InspiralLondon is a walking adventure that offers Londoners opportunities to join short walks, walking workshops and to participate in exploring the unexpected landscapes opened up through the inspirallondon trail. Walking together so we can share in the wonder and variety of the Metropole, and to be more aware of ourselves and others, in celebrating all the diverse life that inhabits the city.

In 2025 this shared story, made from rewalking together, and with new inspirallondon adventurers, will culminate in a festival of walking and in the final Re-Walking London publication as an alternative guide to walking in and through the city (scheduled Spring 2026). This walk and guide co-created from the collective imagination and overlapping stories of all Londoners.

InspiralLondon Rewalk is funded by tfl Walking and Cycling Grants for London (2024-2025)

We will be rewalking the trail over 2024 with over 30 walks. Updated information on the schedule and how you can get involved from February.
