Capital Ring Section 15 Step-free

Walk preview

1. Step 1: 🚨 The regular route over the locks is closed until mid 2025 while lock gates are replaced. Walkers will have to follow this lock-free and step-free route while this work is ongoing 🚨

2. Step 2: 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.

3. Step 3: 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!
