Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
Join me on London newest walk - the Green Link Walk from Wood Street to Peckham Rye. The walk officially starts in Epping Forest- see below for instructions on how to walk from the official start to Wood Street Railway station - where we will start.
We walk through four boroughs- Waltham Forest, Hackney Islington, Southwark and the City of London.
After we leave Wood Street Railway Station we walk through Walthamstow Village and the longest straight street market on Walthamstow High Street. Then onto the Walthamstow Wetlands and Marshs before proceeding through Hackney to the Regents Canal at Angel. Onwards through Clerkenwell, St Pauls before crossing the Thames. We walk through Elephant and Castle and Burgess Park before reaching our destination at Peckham.
The walk links 40 areas of green spaces.
Please bring a packed lunch as we will not be having a long lunch break.
Numerous drop out points
No booking required
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors, such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
