The Twilight Walk is back for 2023 and for the first time ever we’re bringing our flagship event to London! We’re so excited that one of the UK’s most vibrant cities will be playing host to The Twilight Walk during Brain Tumour Awareness Month and wanted to make sure you’ve got all the information you need about the event.
Receiving your The Twilight Walk t-shirt
Everybody that books a ticket for The Twilight Walk London will receive a free The Twilight Walk t-shirt but, unfortunately, due to unprecedented demand across The Twilight Walk London and The Twilight Walk Own Walks we’re unable to post these out ahead of time.
Instead, you’ll be able to pick up your t-shirt from the venue on Saturday 25 March when you register before the walk.

Don’t have your tickets yet?
The Twilight Walk London is happening on Saturday 25 March, so there’s still time to get your tickets.
This is the first time since 2019 that we’re bringing together our community to march towards a cure at a Charity-led The Twilight Walk – and we couldn’t be more excited!
Where will The Twilight Walk London take place?
The starting and finishing point of The Twilight Walk London is St Mary’s London, York Street, London, W1H 1P.
You can register from 2.30pm where you can collect your Twilight walk T-shirt and we’ll start walking between 3.30pm and 4.30pm. When you get to the venue, you’ll find plenty of our friendly volunteers and team members who’ll happily point you in the right direction so you can register quickly and begin soaking in the incredible atmosphere.
The Twilight Walk London route
Along our scenic central London route you will pass through two of London’s eight Royal Parks – St James’s Park and Hyde Park. St James’s Park is the oldest of London’s Royal Parks and if you’re lucky you might get to meet some of the pelicans that make their homes there! As we march through Hyde Park, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Serpentine Lake and we’ll have to make as much noise as possible as we pass Speaker’s Corner. And, as we leave Hyde Park, we’ll pass through the Wellington Arch – which was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace but later became a victory arch celebrating Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon.
The entirety of The Twilight Walk London is wheelchair accessible, including our venue for the start and finish of the walk – St Mary’s. People with visual impairments are also welcome to take part with a guide.
If you require any further information on the accessibility, please contact us by calling 01252 237867 or emailing thetwilightwalk@thebraintumourcharity.org.
What facilities will there be at The Twilight Walk London?
Support & Information
Taking part in The Twilight Walk can be an emotional experience, which is why our amazing Support and Information team will be on hand to talk to anybody who needs a chat. You’ll also be able to pick up some Better Safe Than Tumour packs to help us raise awareness of the common signs and symptoms of a brain tumour.
Entertainment & activities
We’ll have a selection of activities and entertainment for the whole family – from face painting and science experiments, to a professional warm up from a special guest. You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase official The Twilight Walk merchandise, sign up to future challenges and get to know other members of the brain tumour community.
Refreshments
We’ll have refreshments available before and after the walk, including tea, coffee, energy bars and a selection of cold drinks.
We’re trying to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as we can be, so remember to bring a reusable water bottle – why not pick up an official The Brain Tumour Charity water bottle?
