The Three Mills Loop is a circular walk around the towpaths of the the River Lea Navigation and the Hertford Union Canal. After a short stop at the edge of Victoria Park, the walk goes past Roman Road towards Bow Quarter and Kingsley Hall.  Starting at 1.00 pm (13:00) from House Mill; the walk is likely to last three hours (depending on the group). This is a circular walk, and hence we aim to return to Three Mill Lane (by about 4pm). The complete walk is unsuitable for children under 10 although they would enjoy the shorter versions of the walk. We meet at House Mill which is near Tesco at Bromley By Bow Tube Station (Three Mill Lane, London E3 3DU)
