A Five‑Mile Friday Lea Bridge Road to Angel Wander Five miles, one canal, a pack of mosaic hounds, a legendary theatre, and a pint at the finish line — this Green Link Walk had everything, except perhaps our ability to read a map! If you’ve been paying attention 🧐 you may have spotted a new addition to the homepage: a shiny London Walks menu to help you find past routes without rummaging through the archives. This latest adventure will be…

This was meant to be a five‑mile Friday wander… but life (and a stubborn cold) had other ideas. So yes, yes, I know — 2.5 miles isn’t exactly heroic.

Oooh, the joy of birthdays, anniversaries and Mother’s Day all thrown into a busy weekend schedule — what’s not to love❤️ A few weeks ago it was quite a hectic, full‑on weekend. We weren’t just going out, we…
