Interested in making the most of the National Trust near you? Join your local group to enjoy special interest talks, visits, holidays and other social and fundraising events.

You'll also be helping a great cause - local groups support the work of the charity and raise hundreds of thousands of pounds every year for our conservation and access projects around the country.

About the group

The Centre was founded in 1951 (second only to Manchester) and currently has 170 members drawn from across London and surrounding areas.

Our objectives are to promote and prosper the work of the National Trust both nationally and in the Thames and Solent area and to promote social activities to make membership of the National Trust more enjoyable.  

As you will see from the programme, our main activities are coach trips to National Trust and other properties and visits by public transport to places of interest in London. We also arrange fortnightly rambles (normally no more than 6 miles and often with an opportunity to break away early).

Although we seldom organise purely social events, the visits frequently and the rambles always offer the opportunity to lunch together. Our main fundraising comes from the surplus arising from events and this enables us to contribute annually to national and regional appeals.
