Our walk starts at the ‘Crown & Horsehoes’ pub on the banks of the original New River Loop in Enfield Town. The nearest railway station is Enfield Chase on the Kings Cross/Finsbury Park line which is about 5 minutes walk. Alternatively Enfield Town stn (London Overground/Liverpool Street/Seven Sisters line) is about 15 minutes walk away. If you are coming by car there is ample ‘on street’ parking in the area.
We break for lunch at Avenue Gardens by Alexandra Palace station where there are seats, local shops & a pub. Short breaks are taken en route at Deadmans Bridge on Green Lanes, Palmers Green & later on at Clissold House café in Clissold Park at Stoke Newington.
At the end of the walk, we plan to walk from New River Head to Angel/Kings Cross to take the tube to Finsbury Park, then the overground train back to Enfield Chase.
