Welcome to the Urban Sketchers London sketchwalk programme for 2025
Details for each event are posted nearer the time on the Urban Sketchers London blog and social media accounts (scroll down for links to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter aka X). The program is provisional, as we need to be flexible in case of disruptions such as rail strikes or particularly foul weather.

If you would like to help us lead a sketch walk, please contact us via email on [email protected] or social media (links on the home page).
As always, our regular sketch walks are free, and there’s no need to book. Just show up with your drawing kit.
Every sketchwalk has a leader, a meeting point at the beginning, a gathering place in the middle, and another one at the end, when we ‘throw down’ our sketchbooks and pose for a group photo. Sketchwalk leaders know the area and are there to help you feel at ease and give you some ideas about what to sketch. Please note there is no tuition during the sketchwalks. We all draw what we wish, following the Urban Sketchers Vision and Values and sharing our drawings at the end.
