Our April walk


Industrial landscapes, The Line, Madge Gill and a rolling bridge – Three Mills to Cody Dock, our April walk

Well, actually, our walk started with a conversation on where the opening shots of Masterchef are filmed, Three Mills Studios being nearby... and then we paused to watch a cormorant fishing. But that's an East end walk – full of discovery. 

There was outdoor art – our route along the Lea Navigation and the Lea took in three works along The Line sculpture trail and the Madge Gill installation at Cody Dock.

There was industry – history, from gin production to the Gas, Light & Coke Company and between, modern e-commerce warehouses and recycling.

There were views, to Canary Wharf, the Balfron Tower, the cable cars of the Emirates Air Line and along the sweep of the tidal river.

We explored the latest at Cody Dock, where there's a rolling bridge being constructed.

And there were hot drinks and snacks from the cheery Cody Dock café.
