Overview

A pleasurable walk along the canals, rivers, and docklands of Limehouse, Stratford and Hackney. We will start along the long straight course of the Limehouse Cut canal, one of the oldest canals in London, and continue on along the Lee Navigation towpath. We will be finishing in a pub near Hackney Wick station.

Optional pub at the end of the walk for a drink and a chat where everyone is welcome to join.
