Street-Porter was president of the Ramblers' Association for two years from 1994. She walked across Britain from Dungeness in Kent to Conway in Wales for the series
Coast to Coast in 1998. She also walked from Edinburgh to London in a straight line in 1998, for a television series and her book

[[File:CZWG house Janet Street-Porter.jpg|thumb|The Clerkenwell house commissioned by Janet Street-Porter]] In 1994, for the documentary series ''The Longest Walk'', she accompanied long-distance walker [[Ffyona Campbell]] on the last section of her round-the-world walk.
In 1987 Street-Porter commissioned a house from CZWG Architects. The building, its exterior a postmodernist mini-echo, conscious or not, of Broadcasting House, stands out among Clerkenwell's mainly Georgian houses.
In 1966 Street-Porter appeared as an extra in the nightclub scene in
Blowup. In 2003 she wrote and presented a one-woman show at the Edinburgh Festival titled
All the Rage. She published the autobiographical
Baggage in 2004, about her childhood in working class London. Its sequel is titled
Fallout. 'Life's Too F***ing Short' is a volume which presents, as she puts it, her answer to "getting what you want out of life by the most direct route."
Outspoken across many issues, Janet Street-Porter writes a regular essay in the
Daily Mail. In 2009, she wrote an article entitled "why I hate Facebook", expressing a view that chat rooms were "pathetic" and warned of the risks of fraud, entrapment, grooming and that social networking was a violation of privacy.
