Walks of Interest: Half and half (Hackney Road)
A moderate walk along Hackney Road, which runs between Hackney and Tower Hamlets.
About This Event
Despite its name Hackney Road divides between two boroughs, Hackney and Tower Hamlets.The Oranges and Lemons song features the ‘Bells of Shoreditch’ which we may hear as we start our walk, but we’ll certainly hear some tales of Shakespeare and his colleagues. Our route takes in the Mildmay Mission Hospital, Fairchild’s Garden, a farm, a recording studio, the home of the Hells Angels, a convent, the former children’s hospital, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Walks of Interest are moderately paced walks up 2 hours in duration and incorporate periods of standing.
Sessions must be booked in advance and we do not accept same-day bookings. Waiting lists will be created as if needed. Priority is given to Hackney residents or those registered to a Hackney based GP surgery.
