• 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 🚨

• 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.

• 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!

• 

  Step 4: 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 6: 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.
