The East London Loop 1: Stratford to Cheshunt Trail

Set off on a scenic 25k journey from Stratford to Cheshunt through the heart of Lee Valley—a lush, linear escape running alongside waterways and nature reserves. This trail blends the best of both worlds: peaceful green stretches with the perks of urban convenience. You’ll find cafes and corner shops en route to refill water or grab a bite, and there’s a halfway café already mapped (feel free to remove it if you prefer an uninterrupted flow). Fully within the TfL network, you can hop on a train back from Cheshunt using your Oyster or contactless card. Up for more? Turn around and make it a rewarding 50k out-and-back adventure.
