• Step 1: Begin this walk at Royal Albert Station on the DLR. This section is quite flat and less than 4 miles/6km. It explores the once very industrial area of Beckton, the former docks, the River Thames and the foot tunnel at Woolwich.

• Step 2: As well as being able to explore the University of East London campus, there are unbeatable views of planes landing and taking off at London City Airport. Kids will love this!

• 

  Step 3: The start of the section is quarter of a mile away. Follow signs to exit the DLR station in the direction of Becton through the metal fence.

• 

  Step 4: Cross Royal Albert Way at the lights. Turn right and then left to take the first exit from the roundabout up Stansfield Road.

• 

  Step 5: Cross Stansfield Road at the zebra to reach a large Capital Ring signpost which marks the start of section 15. Keep ahead in Beckton Park.

• 

  Step 6: Head through the avenue of trees. As you walk you may hear the rumble of jets taking off on your right. Follow the path to the far side.
