Join CRY on 26th June 2022 for the 16th annual CRY Heart of London Bridges Walk. This event offers the opportunity to show support for CRY, remember young people, raise funds and help raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death.

In 2019, over 1,570 people took part in the Walk, helping us to raise over £72,000. Since COVID, our numbers have understandably dwindled, and in 2021, over 321 people took part helping us to raise over £12,000. This year, we are hoping to get our numbers back up again.

When and where is it? Sunday 26th June 2022. The event will start and finish in Southwark Park, Gomm Road, London, SE16 2TX, near the Band Stand. The venue enables us to start and finish at the same place and provide some extra activities and facilities at the end of the walk. Southwark Park is close to three underground stations, Bermondsey, Canada Water and Surrey Quays.

How long is the walk? 9km (approx 5.5 miles). As a guide, the route should take about 2 hours at an average walking pace. The route has step free access and is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs. The route starts in Southwark Park, continues along the River Thames heading towards Tower Bridge, through the cobbled streets into Shad Thames. The walk then continues past the Tower of London, along the Thames Pathway, leading to Millennium Bridge, heading back towards Southwark Park. The walk includes great views of some of London's famous landmarks. Some of these landmarks include, Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Southwark Cathedral, the Tower of London, City Hall and HMS Belfast.

How much does it cost to enter? In advance: Adult = £12 On the day: Adult = £15 Children 16 and under = free, but must be accompanied by an adult. Your entry fee purely goes towards the cost of running the event safely
