Walthamstow Marshes

Highlight • River

There are at least four different routes, and many more route combinations to ride through Walthamstow Marshes. They link up to Hackney Marshes and down to the Thames, Walthamstow Wetlands and the Lea Valley trails up to Tottenham Marshes and beyond.

After heavy rain avoid the upper route, as the underpass under the railway usually floods. The path by the river is lovely and wide but paved with loose gravel. Overall, a beautiful, relaxing route to ride.

Walthamstow Wetlands Canal and Lock

Highlight • River

Just a short hop from Central London, this 520-acre (211 ha) wetland is a treat for wildlife enthusiasts and those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. These reservoirs provide drinking water for around 3.5 million people every day. Cyclists are welcome on the designated paths but be aware that pedestrians have priority here.
