The River Lea towpath runs from our estate down to Hackney Wick and Victoria Park, where it connects to the Hertford Union Canal - that then leads to Regent's Canal - and further, all the way to the River Thames, if you fancy a really long walk. Along the path a several parks, cafés and pubs, and you can see many lovely narrow boats (house boats). It's a very special side of London that not many tourists have on their map.

Pub
Our favourite little pub in the neighbourhood. The quirky building is a very beautiful conversion of a former Victorian public toilet. They sell great beers including some of the local craft ales, and also a small but delicate range of home made pub food. Yum.
