Paloma's Guidebook
Green space
The Hackney Marshes is an extended protected area that goes from Stratford to Tottenham. Amazing for walks along the canal where the community of people living in boats are moored, bird watching or stopping for a pic nic.
It feels like you’re in the countryside and it’s located only 5 minutes walking from the house!
