Key landmarks you will spot on the route include Battersea Power Station, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben & the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral.

You will receive a free Maggie's t-shirt, snacks, hot food and drinks and a medal to commemorate your achievement. We hope to see you there!

Your Participation

Please note that this is a fairly challenging event, and to take part you will need to have a good level of fitness. Some training is advised, and we’ll provide plans and information to help with that.  

We expect the 8 mile route to take around 4-5 hours, and the 15 mile route to take 7-8 hours to complete, including breaks.  

This event is for over 18s only.  

Challenge yourself and support people with cancer

When cancer turns life upside down, Maggie’s is here. All our expert support is free to anyone with cancer and their family and friends.

By joining us on the London Night Hike, you are helping us to ensure people with cancer get the support they need across London.

£150 could pay for two of our Getting Started sessions for up to 20 centre visitors, helping to support with thoughts, emotions and worries before, during and after any cancer treatment.

£300 could help fund a course for eight people dealing with the impact of menopause brought on by cancer treatment.

Thank you for supporting our centres in London - Maggie's Barts (City), Maggie's Royal Free (Hampstead), Maggie's at the Royal Marsden (Sutton) and Maggie's West London (Hammersmith).
