However the weather has finally taken a turn for the better and last weekend it was so lovely I decided I was going to go out properly somewhere new.
I picked the Three Mills walk from my 50 London Walks book and headed off to Bromley-by-Bow, and then followed the route along the River Lea and the Hertford Union Canal, before getting bored and going off the route to make my way back round to Bromley-by-Bow.
It was a really enjoyable walk - route here - although it was slightly odd to be walking a route designed in 2001, before we'd even got the Olympics, let alone seen everything built for them. And of course the pace of development is just getting quicker and quicker so there's an awful lot of buildings springing up in the area.

Photos from the rest of the walk along the river and canal:
And finally a couple of views from a park along the way. Which park? Who knows! I have failed to make a note so am not sure. I climbed up a mound to get these photos, anyway. /unhelpful
