About this event

To celebrate Queen Mary's Sustainability Week, we will be having a walk along the Parkland Walk in North London. Taking in some of the relics of this old railway line, to discovering how the land used from the closed railway has been used to create a local nature reserve and excellent walking path. This will be a gentle walk with plenty of stops, so should be suitable for walkers of any ability.

We will be meeting at 2pm at the start of the Parkland Walk at the Stroud Green Road Gate, a short walk from Finsbury Park station. The meeting point is:
