Canal Walk - Angel to Victoria Park Cafe / Market
About the event
We will enjoy a leisurely walk (approx 45 mins - 1 hour) along Regent's Canal from Angel station and ending at the fabulous Victoria Park Market. This event usually runs on the 4th Sunday of each month, unless there is bad weather or exceptional circumstances. We are a welcoming group, so feel free to mix around and say hello other people.
There is a wondering food market in Victoria Park, and most of us will get something to eat together. We usually sit on the grass or public benches (if available) near the Bonner Gate entrance, behind the Dogs of Alcibiades statue. This is at the intersection of foodstalls running north/south and east/west. If it is raining or the market is closed, we can either go to the Pavillion cafe, or The Crown pub on Grove Road instead.
Please note a few points: 1. There is currently no charge for this group. I will need to review this again later in 2026.
2. WE WILL WAIT ONLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER THE START TIME. If you are running late\, please catch us up along the canal. Please note\, I will not be checking for meetup or whatsapp messages after the walk starts.
3. The nearest tube station to Victoria Park is Bethnal Green station (central line). Please check Google Maps or similar.
4. You are responsible for yourselves on the walk\, so please bring appropriate footwear etc. Please be mindful of those around you\, especially where the canal gets narrow in places.

Previously, there was a separate walk on the 3rd Sunday of the month, which started at Limehouse Basin, and then ran along the same canal to Victoria Park. Please note, the walks starting from Limehouse on the 3rd Sunday of the month are now cancelled for the foreseeable future.
