Green, Urban, River Walk from Highbury to Regents Park + (optional) Pub
Details
A walk from Highbury & Islington Station (11.15am), around Highbury Fields (pictured), over to New River, down to Barnard Park, along the Regents Canal to Regents Park, and through the park to the Baker St Wetherspoon.
We'll stop for a coffee along the way, and I plan to arrive in the (optional) pub mid-afternoon. There are of course hop-off points all along the walk, and Baker St Station is next to the pub when we finish.
We're meeting at Highbury & Islington Station, which is six stations from Stratford on the Mildmay Line. Its also on the Victoria Line from Walthamstow or Blackhorse Rd in one direction, or Oxford Circus from the other. I've made the start time 11.15am again to allow that extra bit of travelling time.
I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees, or you are able to pay £4 to cover the whole of February if you prefer. £1 and £2 coins only please - if you do bring silver, you will be asked to go off and change it.
A few members opt to pay £20, which will cover you for a half-year.
