Evening Walk - Along a canal through inner north and east London: Angel to Limehouse

This has actually not had an outing in summer for a few years, despite being “ideal for mid-summer evenings”, so here you go.

Length: 7.7 km/4.8 mi (if cutting out Victoria Park)  

Height Gain: negligible

 

Meet 18.45 hours prompt outside Angel Station (Northern Line - Bank Branch, Zone 1), travel time from Bank 5 minutes, from King’s Cross 2 minutes.  

Finish: Limehouse DLR and Mainline (Zone 2).

 

“A canal-side walk through North and East London. This is a simple walk, (keep the canal on the right) and ideal for mid-summer evenings.”

 

“Victoria Park opens at 7am and closes at dusk,…” says Tower Hamlets' website, and if you do beat dusk to gain entry, you are looking at an 11.5 km walk (assuming you also beat dusk to get out of the park).

 

Walk Options: 

Bail out at Mile End (Central Line), after 4.7 km. 

Walk on to Canary Wharf (tube/DLR).

 

Refreshments:  

The Palm Tree (Grove Road, Mile End).  

Bread Street Kitchen & Bar and The Grapes, both a little off route at the end in Limehouse (Narrow Street). 

Many more, if you extend the walk to Canary Wharf.
