The London Legal Walk is an annual fundraising event, bringing the legal community together in support of free legal advice services.  The walk is 10k in length and all three routes start on Carey Street.

All routes are 10km long which would take most people around 2-3 hours to walk. Running enthusiasts are welcome to run the route though please be mindful of crossings as roads will not be closed and the sun will set at 18:02 on the 18th October.

No. We do not charge an entry fee for teams* or walkers. However this is a fundraising event so please do enter with the intention of raising some money. If you need help or advice with how to get sponsorship or alternative ways to boost your team’s total we’d be happy to help. 

* the one exception to this being where a team has taken part previously and raised no funds at all, then we will ask for a minimum donation per walker. 

Three routes are available to reduce congestion on pavements.

Accessible Route Map – Thanks to the Disability Justice Project, there is a recommended fully accessible route which can be viewed here.

Please note that the Parks Route is also accessible, but there is a deep patch of gravel at Horse Guards that it is best to go around.

Registration will run from 2pm – 7pm at desks at the Lincoln’s Inn Fields end of Carey Street. We recommend arriving between 2-5pm if possible to beat the crowds and the sunset!

Absolutely! Anyone can take part in the walk or 10xChallenge – lawyers, clients, support staff, friends and family, housemates, children and pets are all welcome. It is your choice who is in your team.

Yes. Dogs (kept under reasonable control) are welcome on the walk. Some of our four legged walkers get better sponsorship than their humans! The Knights Templar puts out bowls of water for their free drink at the end.

Yes. Joggers and runners are welcome. Runners may wish to start a bit earlier than the bulk of walkers. It’s quite hard to run through 15,000 walking lawyers. Please note we do not close off roads or road crossings so we cannot time runners and please be very careful when running!

There are a number of public toilets along the routes that will be marked on the map. If you can’t find one ask a route marshal where the nearest one is. The Law Society and the Knights Templar both have large toilets at the start and end. 

You can visit the Great British Public Toilet Map to find local toilets close to your current location while walking your chosen route.

Doculand have been providing our T-shirts for the last 5 years, and will continue to provide T-shirts in 2021.

Please check back soon for order details.  We will also email all Team Organisers when the order form goes live.

Yes – we allow teams to designate up to 50% of the funds they raise to a specific agency (or agencies) if they have a significant partnership with the agency. A significant partnership would, for instance, be on-going pro bono, financial or management support. The agency must be a legal advice agency, or legal support agency (such as a network or PSU) that provides services in London or, for national/international agencies that are based in London (or in your region of your team comes from outside the LLST region).

Please contact us if you wish to designate funds.

Funds raised by legal advice agencies’ own teams will be donated to the agency that raises the funds. We do not deduct any fees or costs from that money.
