Table 13 is a cafe, bakery and wine shop near Tottenham Hale Tube, Rail and Bus stations. It has indoor seating and toilets. It only accepts card payments.
After coffee, at about 11.00, there is an optional walk that loops around the Paddock Nature Park and returns to Ferry Lane, close to 123 and 230 bus stops and the station (1 mile). We continue to Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve and we follow the along the northern reservoirs. After 1¾ miles it's possible to follow a path to 158 bus stops on Blackhorse Lane. We return to Ferry Lane, after 2½ miles. We then pass the visitor centre, where there are toilets, and take paths around the southern reservoirs. After the walk there is a possibility of tea at the visitor centre, before returning to Tottenham Hale.
Most of the route is on hard paths, but there could be muddy patches in a couple of places, so walking shoes or boots are recommended. There are solid steps and rails up the banks of two reservoirs, which are more exposed to the elements but offer good views. It's also possible to stay on the lower level.
Bring a packed lunch if you plan to walk beyond the visitor centre.
