Embark on a guided walking tour from Leytonstone to Highams Park in East London. Explore the country parks of East London, including the charming village of Leytonstone, the plains, woods, grasslands, and lakes, and the quaint and elegant Highams Park with views over the city.

Meet at the Leytonstone tube station and embark on an easy to medium intensity hike on flat terrain towards the north. After crossing the grasslands of the Leyton Flats, stop to admire the wild birds at Hollow Ponds and take photos with swans, geese, and herons.

Continue through charming woodlands with occasional lakes, as you head towards a cute church in the forest, that occasionally opens for tea and coffee. On the way, see wildlife, such as foxes, squirrels, and exotic parakeets roaming around freely.

If you are interested, learn about herbs and other edible plants in an introduction to foraging. Cross the eponymous “Doughnut” and pass a few traditional forest lodges, like the elegant Highams Park with its traditional tea hut, where there is a chance for a hearty meal, a sweet snack, or a traditional builders's tea.

Stay in the lovely park afterwards and enjoy a picnic or scenic views of the city, or return to the London Overground station for a convenient return to Liverpool Street Station in the city.
