Secret London - Dalston, Haggerston, London Fields and Regents Canal plus gems!

Hi all, cost & info below, A fun, fascinating 3 mile, 4.5mile or 6 mile option walk. It is such a wonderful walk, the oldest surviving terraced houses in London from the 1600s, the magnificent eccentric man who burrowed under his home for 40 years, 30 ft deep and spalling out towards other roads and houses nearby!

We also have a jaw dropper of a secret gem for the 4.5 & 6 mile walkers!
Wonderful secret gardens, a place that became part of China, murals, a cake shop that created and designed Meghan and Harry's wedding cake with queues down the road, a wonderful, delightful African market, a woodland oasis in the middle of a town (pictured), a famous Victorian music hall singer, some wonderful Georgian squares and gorgeous Victorian shops, a walk through the beautiful London fields, the nearby area of Broadway Market (Market operates on Saturdays), a wonderful walk along Regents Canal with sharks in the water!
