Stave Hill Ecology Park and Southwark Park, 3.5 miles

Details

  • We will meet at Canada Water tube station. We will then make our way to visit the Stave Hill Ecology Park.
  • Stave Hill itself is a 30-foot (9.1 m) high artificial mound in the shape of a truncated cone, with a viewing platform and relief map of the former docks in cast bronze by Michael Rizzello at the top. It provides views over Canary Wharf, the City of London, and much of south and central London; on clear days the view stretches as far as Wembley Stadium.
  • It was created in 1985 by the LDDC, using waste material and rubble from the works to fill and landscape the former commercial docks.
  • We will then make our way via the Surrey water to Southwark park to visit the ponds and gardens. We will then procede to Bermondsey tube station, this is where the walk ends. Optional drinks/lunch at the end of the walk.

What to bring:
Comfortable footwear
Water
Photo-taking gadgets and chargers
An umbrella just in case (it's London after all)

The walk is free for members who have subscribed for an annual membership. For other members the fee is £5 cash/card on arrival to contribute towards the organiser's meetup fees and costs.

The annual pass option is £15 payable by cash/card on the day. This will provide access to at least 40 walks per year (members are welcome to bring a guest to each event).

All walks are free for the NHS staff (also welcome to bring a guest).

'No Show' Policy: If the member replied 'yes' but did not attend the event, did not update the RSVP and did not inform the organisers on 3 occasions – this triggers an automatic removal from the group. That's once for events with a waiting list.
