The Magnificent Seven cemeteries walk series- East London duo

11 miles Moderate Liner

This is the first of four planned walks visiting the magnificent seven Victorian London cemeteries. The first of the series will include visiting the two in East London - Tower Hamlets and Abney Park (Stoke Newington)
We will meet at 10.00 outside the Hotel Chocolat shop at London Bridge mainline station, which is on the left hand side of the concourse as you go through the barriers.
Starting with a scenic walk along the Thames from London Bridge, through St Katherine's Docks to Limehouse and then hugging the Regent's Canal until we reach Mile End. Passing close by to two interesting museums- the Ragged School Museum and the Vagina Museum, which unfortunately we won't have time to visit...
After briefly dropping into Tower Hamlets Cemetery (https://fothcp.org/), we make our way to the scenic Victoria Park where there is a great cafe, toilets and sourdough bread for sale!
We then continue through some suburban parts of East London and can appreciate how trendy Stoke Newington has become, before we finish at Abney Park Cemetery (https://abneypark.org/) which provides a wild, gothic, and atmospheric end to the day. Plenty of cafes and bars available here too, and easy return travel.
This is a no dog walk.

NB: There is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers Assoc. members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.

Ramblers members are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend - just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website
