Box Walks | Nature-based walk from Kew to Barnes

About

Walk, play and supercharge your environmental efforts

Join us for a relaxed stroll along the Thames river and through some of the greenest parts of Kew and Barnes. It's a great chance to stretch your legs, enjoy fresh air, and make new friends.

We are championing the Plastic Free July campaign on this walk and will be considering how we can reduce our plastic footprint at home. We will be visiting 3 of our phone boxes on the walk:

1. Walter, the water box

2. Peter, the plastics box

3. Wendy, wetlands box.

We will meet up and start the walk at Walter just outside Kew Gardens Elizabeth Gate on Kew Green. Just look for the red phone box near the fast food van. Dogs, prams and children are welcome. We walk at a slow pace so people can chat, take in the scenery and enjoy the interactive content on the Box Walks app.

Bring your friends or make new ones while soaking up the riverside vibes. Let’s walk, chat, and make a difference together.
