Overview

An urban walk which features parks and canal paths. 

Walking a steady pace, we will come across graffiti, hip cafes and a viewing point of East London. 

There is an option to visit the Museum of the Home before the walk starts as well as Whitechapel Gallery via the Hammersmith & City Line from Mile End Tube Station. 

Walkers are welcome to have a lunch-stop at Mile End Park. We might be lucky and can eat our lunch on the viewing point. Cafes on MIle End Road.
