A walk from Stratford around Olympic Park, the River Lea, canals, and Victoria Park (where we'll stop for a cuppa). Then its off to Hackney. A smallish group of us ate at the ex-Wetherspoon in Hackney not too long ago, and we were very pleased with it. So the walk will end mid-afternoon at that pub, the DC Lion. The stated end-time of 5pm is an estimate, and does allow for pub time. The station is nearby for those staying for the pub or those who go straight off. We'll return to Stratford on the Weaver Line, or of course whichever alternative direction you may prefer to go in. We're meeting in or by Subway (the sandwich restaurant) at 11am, and leaving fairly promptly. If you come out of the original Stratford Station exit (the opposite end to Westfield), you'll see the long-standing Stratford (shopping) Centre facing you. Look slightly to the left of that shopping centre entrance and you'll see Subway. If you haven't already paid for Nov, I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees. No shrapnel please.
