Walk to work week

National walk to work week is a national challenge which encourages employees to walk more as part of their commute and working day.

It also aims to help workplaces encourage and promote walking to staff. Walk to work week takes place as part of National walking month in May.

Benefits include:

  • save your bus fare 
  • burn calories and get fitter
  • compete with your colleagues and walk together
  • relieve stress
  • make new discoveries in your area 

Transport for London (TfL) offers online resources to encourage walking as transport for your commute. They work with local Southwark businesses to create their own bespoke Legible London maps to show how easily local journeys can be made on foot.
