Let's Walk is a way to get more active, meet new people and discover your local area by the water. Ours walks are free, fun and friendly.

This is for people in the local area who would like to join the walk to Mile End.

It will be fun, you'll talk to some positive people and enjoy nature on the way!

You'll meet at Poplar Union at 12.30 and you'll be back in time to coincide with Let's Share Stories Together Tickets, Wednesday, October 28 • 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM | Eventbrite that starts at 13.30. That will be on our canal boat Jena.

Jena the canal boat, will be moored next to Poplar Union.

The walk is accessible. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

The great thing about walking is that you do not need any fancy equipment. Please just wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket if raining. However with all the fallen leaves the tow path (even if it is not raining) it can be muddy/slippy so stout shoes are really required (stronger than recommended).
