Overview

This London walk explores the wetlands and formal gardens of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with its impressive architecture of the West Ham Stadium, Velodrome and Aquatic Centre. The walk continues along the Greenway with its wildflower planting for pollinators and sights of the impressive Victorian Abbey Mills Pumping Station.  The walk ends overlooking the Royal Albert Dock and London City Airport.

Bring snacks and drinks although there will be a coffee stop in the Olympic Park.
