National Cycle Route 1, Lee Valley

The renovated towpath alongside the Lee and Stort Navigation provides a wonderful linear traffic-free route from Essex and Hertfordshire into central London for walkers and cyclists. Here, just south of Edmonton a branch looping Banbury Reservoir (coming in from the left) re-joins the main route, with London ahead.

Pylons in the Lea Valley

This is not the most attractive part of the Lea (or Lee) Valley. The A406 North Circular road crosses the river, canal and various drainage channels. There are electricity pylons, gas holders, industrial estates and retail sheds. This picture was taken near a pumping station, close to Banbury reservoir and Costco.

Lloyd Park, Walthamstow

For all that it's situated in a densely populated part of North-east London, much of Lloyd Park is open grassland. The houses in the background are in Brettenham Road.

Carlton Road, Higham Hill

Higham Hill is some fifty feet or so above the Lea valley. This area represented the northern limit of Walthamstow's nineteenth century terraced housing whose development the opening of the railway to Chingford in the early 1870s did much to encourage.

Industrial Area, Edmonton

For about a mile, between the A406 North Circular Road and Stonebridge Lock the riverside cycle and pedestrian route along the Lea goes through an industrial area (shown). It is not the most attractive part of the route.

River Lee Navigation in Edmonton

This is viewed looking north from the Chalk Bridge with the LondonWaste Eco Park chimney on the horizon. On the towpath on the right is a pile of fly-tipping. There has to be something radically wrong with the waste disposal system that less than a kilometre from a waste recycling centre someone feels the need to make the effort to drive out of their way down a dead end road to deposit their rubbish.

River Lee Navigation: Chalk Bridge

Historically Chalk Bridge carried an old track over the Navigation here. Today the bridge marks the boundaries between three London Boroughs. Enfield is beyond the bridge, the photographer is in Haringey, and off to the right is Waltham Forest.
