Channelsea River to Abbey Gardens – Lost + Found Places

Trace the lost river and discover the abandoned island of Channelsea, then visit the newly founded urban oasis of Abbey Gardens on this walk, talk and eat exploration of this hidden history of the tidal Lea Valley and site of London's now rapidly vanishing industrial past. Consider the opportunity to make new urban green spaces that celebrate both wild and man made environments in harmony.
