Event information
The walk takes in parts of Bow and Poplar not covered on other walks, such the site of a Benedictine nunnery founded in the time of William the Conqueror and a wander around the remains of a graveyard on its site, the site of a palace built for James I, the hotel where the Russian Novichok poisoners stayed in 2018, Kingsley Hall famous for the visit of Mahatma Gandhi, the last remains of the former Bow Station, derelict toilets and a Civic Hall where The Jam played a Queens Silver Jubilee gig plus we see and talk about many dead pubs, and various bits of dereliction and redevelopment along the way.
The walks start outside Bromley By Bow underground station and lasts approx 4 hours, ending at a 1951 Festival of Britain built pub in Poplar where we shall have a buffet waiting for us with a selection of both meat, vegan and vegetarian options. The cost of the buffet is included in this ticket price. The pub serves reasonably priced drinks. It's a cash only pub. It is highly likely that after the buffet pub we shall move on to one or two other interesting pubs in the area.
Tip: Before this walk start the day with a fryup at the nearby Devons Cafe, 113 Devons Rd,E3 3QX (8 mins walk from the meeting point)
