Canary Wharf to Walthamstow: Wetlands, Docks, Mills & Hidden London

Day hike description

Join us for a varied East London hike taking us from the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf through a surprisingly green and historic side of London, finishing in Walthamstow.
We’ll follow waterways, docks and old industrial landscapes through Eden Dock and Limehouse, passing the historic House Mill and Three Mills before heading into the Lea Valley and across Hackney Marshes. From there we’ll continue towards the beautiful Walthamstow Wetlands before finishing at Big Penny Social in Walthamstow, where we can stop for a well-earned drink and/or food.
Expect a mixture of canals, riverside paths, marshland, wetlands, industrial heritage and some of London’s less obvious green spaces, with plenty to see along the way. It’s a great opportunity to explore a different side of East London while getting a decent day’s walking in.

★ Special Feature: The Return of "Walking ChatGPT"
For those who've joined our previous London Walk Series events, you'll be pleased to know that Toby, affectionately known as "Walking ChatGPT", will once again be sharing fascinating insights, local history, hidden stories and quirky facts throughout the walk.
