We are the North East London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

There is a limit of 15 people for this walk and booking is essential. To book your place, please use the email link to send an email after 15 September.
The Yurt Cafe is close to Limehouse DLR and Limehouse Mainline stations, though tucked away. It has toilets, lots of seating and it takes card payments only. Please be there for 10.45 at the very latest.
After coffee, at 11.00, we will have an optional stroll round Limehouse Basin and then along Limehouse Cut, with drop-out options near buses to Mile End/Hackney after 1 mile and Bromley-by-Bow Tube after 2 miles. We continue to Three Mills Island, with toilets and buses nearby (at Tesco). Then we walk towards the Olympic Park and Stratford, with further drop-out options at bus stops and Pudding Mill DLR. After skirting the edge of the Olympic Park we finish at Hackney Wick Overground, where there are also 276 and 339 bus stops.
Bring a packed lunch if you plan to walk beyond Bromley-by-Bow. The route is mainly along canals, so care is necessary and walking boots or walking shoes are essential.
We meet at the Yurt Cafe, 2 Butcher Row, E14 8DS by 10.45 at the very latest. On leaving either station by the main entrance, turn right and go round the corner, to reach the busy Commercial Road. Turn left, ensuring that you walk past the Craft Beer Co. After passing it, take the next left turning into Butcher Row, passing the White Swan on the corner. Cross Ratcliffe Lane and continue under the railway bridge, then look for a turning on the left, signposted for the Royal Foundation of St Katharine and the Yurt Cafe.
