Overview

There is a limit of 15 people for this walk and booking is essential.  Please book with Annette after 20 August, using the email link on this web page.

Signorelli is a local Italian bakery and cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating.  Please meet there by 10.45 at the very latest.

After coffee, at 11.00, we will have an optional walk, to include a circuit of the Olympic Park, a couple of canal stretches, the lakes of Victoria and Mile End Park, then into Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park (a woodland nature reserve).  We finish at Mile End Tube Station, where there are also buses and the possibility of tea.  We pass near Hackney Overground and there are several bus stops along the way, for Hackney or Mile End, if you wish to drop out.

Signorelli, 15 Endeavour Square, E20 1JN. From Stratford Station (Tube, Overground, DLR and mainline), go to the first floor of Westfield Centre (I take the escalator in M&S) and follow signs to the Olympic Park. After M&S you pass TK Maxx on Stratford Place. Then, just before you reach John Lewis, turn left into Chestnut Plaza, which is lined with restaurants and bars. At the end, cross Westfield Avenue and walk straight ahead a few metres, into a pedestrian area and towards the West Ham United Stadium. Signorelli is in the first row of cafes on the right hand side, next to Figo.
