Circular Green Walk Around Chingford, Pole Hill, Yardley Hill + (optional) Pub
Details
We're going back over to Chingford today, rather than the Leytonstone walk, due to the festival. So its now a circular green walk from Chingford Station around Pole Hill, Yardley Hill, and Sewardstonebury.
We're meeting outside Chingford Station at 11am, and will leaving fairly promptly.
We'll circle around the lovely Yardley Hill & Pole Hill, stop for a coffee in our favourite Valley Cafe, and be back at Chingford Station for around 3pm. For those wishing to come to the pub, we'll be heading slightly past the station for the Queen Elizabeth and some well deserved food and/or drink.
I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees. You can alternatively pay £4 to cover the whole of May, or £20 to take you through six full months. No shrapnel please.
For drivers, park in Beresford Rd and use the footpath between number 25 and 29 to go to the station. The postcode for that point of the road is E4 6ED.
If you're on the train, its the London Overground (now known as the Weaver Line) from Liverpool St. You can go from Stratford if you go over the internal bridge at Hackney Central to Hackney Downs for a train change.
The 97 bus goes from Stratford Station too (via Leyton & Walthamstow). Careful though, as end to end takes nearly an hour. Chingford station is also served by buses 179, 212, 397, 444.
The 179 is very useful for a lot of people, going through Ilford, Gants Hill, South Woodford & Woodford. The 397 goes from Loughton Station
