Transport for London

Lee Valley Walk

Walking by the river Highlights of the Lea Valley Walk route within Greater London include the Swan and Pike Pool near Enfield Lock, which provides a pleasant diversion, and two colourful marinas at Waltham Abbey and Springfield.

Several large open spaces are passed, including Rammey Marsh, Springfield Park, and Walthamstow and Hackney Marshes (with their bird-rich nature reserves).

For over 10km (6ml) south of Enfield Lock a series of immense reservoirs occupies the east bank, though only their grassy retaining embankments can be seen from the towpath.

A somewhat bizarre interlude occurs at Old Ford Lock, where the colourful studios of GMTV occupy the lockside. The photogenic House Mill is set behind a millpond at Three Mill Island.
