Steve is pleased to present, by popular demand, his take on
the Olympic Park, as it nears completion. This guided walk will
be the greenest and most unique approach to the Olympic
Stadium, and the surrounding parklands and water features.
Starting from Mile End station, this walk builds excitement as
we cross the stunning Tredegar Square conservation area on
our approach to Victoria Park, followed by a delightful route
along the Hertford Union Canal to join the Greenway path into
the Olympic Park itself. We will visit the 'Viewtube' (cafe and
viewing gallery) and Steve will explain the development of the
London Olympic venue as we go. Now running every Thursday,
this walk starts at 1.30pm at Mile End tube station, and
finishes at Pudding Mill Lane DLR station around 3.30pm.
There is no need to book, and the cost is just £5 per person.

and the river from rooftop galleries, you'll see the City in a
new light! This walk finishes at 7.15 pm. There is no need to
book, and the cost is just £5 per person.
