Description

Roding Valley Way is a fantastic route to get to know an often unexplored part of East London.

The route can be done in either direction from Roding Valley station or from the source at the river Thames where the Roding river begins as Barking Creek (Beckton). This route takes in a lot of industrial London but also shows you just how close you are to great secluded trails close to major A roads. The trails can be muddy but are mostly flat.
