Greenway

The Greenway provides a traffic-free walking and cycling route for a few miles through one of the most densely populated areas of east London. It runs from the Old Ford to Becton, over the top of the Northern Outfall Sewer. The many road crossings are protected with lights and are gated to prevent motorised access. Here Greenway crosses Balaam Street, Plaistow.

National Collection of Liquidambar

The Flag Pole Lawn at West Ham Park (see TQ3984) houses the national collection of liquidambar trees (Hamamelidaceae). Nearby greenhouses nurture the plants and flowers which are grown for planting out in the beds and gardens throughout the City of London.
