• Step 1: Begin this walk at Royal Albert Station on the DLR. This section is quite flat and only 4 miles (6.4km). 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: From Royal Albert Station on the DLR, the start of the walk is a quarter of a mile away. Keep your eye out for the signs. Cross over Royal Albert Way at the traffic lights and walk up Stansfeld Road.

• Step 4: Walk up Stansfeld Road and then cross over the road safely at the zebra crossing straight onto Jack Russell Walk. You are now in Beckton Park.

• 

  Step 5: 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.

• 

  Step 6: Keep an eye out for signs for the Capital Ring and Jubilee Greenway. Turn right between trees at the next footpath and stay on this path.
