Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

02 Aug 2023It's a great route connecting two busy urban centres with some lovely green space in East London.

22 Jul 2022Great route from Stratford to Walthamstow almost entirely off road with distinct sections that add interest - Hackney Marshes, the canalside, Walthamstow Marshes and heaps of blackberry picking opportunities in the summer and places to stop for picnic.

04 Mar 2022Best done in reverse so that you don't finish in the hubbub of Stratford/Westfield and so that you can refresh yourself at the Coppermill pub! It's nice to follow the natural Lea/Lee through Hackney marshes rather than the navigation.

18 Jan 2022I walked this route from Walthamstow to Stratford, and I really enjoyed it!
The route starts following pavements and down the pedestrianised High Street, it passes through progressively quiter residential areas, then quickly emerges into the Marshes areas. For much of the north end of the marshes the route follows the national cycle route on wide and paved shared paths.
South of Lea Bridge Station was my favourite part, following the path along the water through the park and then exploring Queen Elizabeth park, too.
Overall, I thought it was a really pleasant and quite interesting walk to follow.

25 Sep 2021This is a good route between Stratford and Walthamstow, although at both ends it's very busy with shops and stations. Getting from Stratford station into the park and the waterglades is awkward, going through the huge shopping centre and then round some busy roads; there are slightly better alternatives than the route suggested here but this one is ok!
From the Olympic Park, through Hackney Marshes, along the River Lea, and then up Leyton and Walthamstow Marshes, is lovely. Worth stopping off at the Walthamstow Wetlands on the way. From there, the walk to Walthamstow is mostly along a busy shopping street - plenty of opportunity to stop for a snack on the way.
