Overview

We walk from West Silvertown station via Lyle Park and the river's towpath to the Thames Barrier Park (northside) then head for the Royal Victoria Dock. We continue to the ExCel Centre, then to the Royal Albert Dock via Beckton District Park finishing at Cyprus DLR station located by the University of East London and opposite City Airport.

Easy terrain but at a moderate pace with some steep steps; may be muddy in parks. Several drop out points. No toilets at stations: public loos at the Thames Barrier Park and the University of East London campus.

Lunch: Brief refreshment stop at the ExCel Centre; student restaurant and other eateries at end of walk.

Train: West Silvertown and Cyprus stations are served by the DLR.

Please note: many factors can affect how long a walk takes and the finish time given is an estimate only.
