Mr. Strouthous had been part of the walking group for around eight years, but he became a walk leader during lockdown. His water aerobics classes shut down during the pandemic, and walks filled that void. “I needed something to keep going, really,” he said.
Mr. Strouthous meticulously plans the routes ahead of time, making sure they’re scenic and not too arduous, and have a good spot to stop for lunch. Thursday morning’s trek checked all the boxes: a route through the South Bank of London, curling past the Globe Theater and under the London Eye, with a stop near a string of shops and cafes, where some members ordered hot chocolates.
