Mid-week with Di- The Greenway from Stratford to Limehouse Basin via The Cut

11:00 Meet at Starbucks at Stratford (lower ground floor inside the Westfield entrance opposite the M&S foodhall)

11:15 We will walk to the View Tube for coffee and and a late breakfast or early lunch before setting off on our walk proper.

12:30ish we will join the Greenway and walk south for just over a mile along the River Lea past The House Mill and on to Bow Locks where we will join the Limehouse Cut and walk on to Limehouse Basin, about 2 miles on from Bow Locks. This is all a pretty gritty urban landscape rather than the more attractive northward walk from Stratford to Hackney Marshes, but interesting for all that and great for photography so bring your camera. The Limehouse Cut linked the lower reaches of the Lee Navigation to the River Thames. Opening on 17 September 1770, and widened for two-way traffic by 1777, it is the oldest canal in the London area and predates the canals by more than 40 years.

2ish depending on how fast we walk we will then walk to either Limehouse Overground or Limehouse DLR station for your journey home.
