It costs £5,000 each day to keep the doors of St James’s open to all who already need us.
A reimagined St James’s realised. A redesigned garden, courtyard and new building capacity—all fully accessible— will provide beautiful spaces for all as well as improving our environmental performance.

Supplied with a check-list of plaques, we set out from Archway Road through Highgate, past its cemetery, before heading across the Heath to Hampstead where we may pop into a coffee shop. We then wind our way down to Primrose Hill where we can pause to take in the view and eat some snacks. On from there to St John’s Wood, Maida Vale and the Regents Canal at Little Venice.
The walking is mostly easy though there are a couple of steep gradients and a good chance of mud on Hampstead Heath. Robust footwear is therefore recommended. We will cross bus and rail routes, so there are plenty of opportunities to bail out along the way. At the end of our walk there will be an opportunity to have lunch in a restaurant, but this is not a necessary part of the experience.
Meet around the entrance to Highgate Underground Station in Archway Road on Saturday 21st March at 9:30am.
Please tell Rob – rob@hullonline.org – if you’re coming so we know how many to expect.
The small print
The group works on the same basis as would a group of friends who go out walking together, inviting others to join them.
Everyone taking part does so at their own risk. SJP and the walk leaders assume no responsibility for anyone attending any Walking Boots event. They will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any Walking Boots event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused. By joining a walk, you indicate that you accept these conditions.Outdoor activities frequently need specialist equipment (boots, waterproofs, etc) and the group does not provide these. You are responsible for assessing your own risk and the suitability of any equipment used. You may want to alert the walk leader to any medical condition that may affect you during the walk. The walk leader may, at their discretion, encourage you not to join the walk if in their opinion you are ill-equipped for the terrain and weather conditions.
We usually visit a pub or café for lunch. You are responsible for alerting the eating establishment to any food allergies you may have. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent etc or guardian.
Dogs are usually welcomed on walks. You are encouraged to check with the leader whether the proposed walk is suitable for dogs.
