London Night Hike 2009: Friday 18th September

Bigger and better than ever before, why not rally together friends, family and colleagues to join the London Night Hike in 2009?

We are seeking 2,000 people to support Maggie’s and gain exclusive access to some of the capital’s most incredible architecture - simply register online today.

The fifth annual Maggie’s and Open House London Night Hike will take place on Friday 18th September 2009 and we’re aiming for the highest number of walkers yet.  

Once again the Opening Party scene will be set outside City Hall with the stunning backdrop of Tower Bridge and the London skyline – you’ll be allocated a start time as due to popular demand for the event, there will be multiple starts for the first time to ease congestion in the early stages of the route. 

Your overnight adventure will start with an exclusive night time flight on the London Eye as we unveil the city you’ll be about to discover.  Not only will you be treated to an insight into old favourites such as Royal Geographical Society and Horse Guards, but also a visit to Fulham Palace for the first time, as well as champagne on the balcony at the IET: Savoy Place to see the sunrise. 

As always you’ll be rewarded with bacon butties (or a vegetarian equivalent) when you cross the finish line back outside City Hall in the early hours of the morning.  With plenty of entertainment along the way this truly is a festival on foot and unique way to spend a Friday night in the capital raising money for people affected by cancer.

Last year, a record 1,500 people took to the streets of late night London to support Maggie’s walking a brand new 20 mile Night Hike route through the capital.  More than £500,000 was raised to support Maggie’s existing network of centres across the UK and participants saw for themselves how vital this support is when they visited the London Maggie’s Centre en route.
