London Loop Section 21

Walk preview

1. Step 1: A 5 mile walk that passes through undulating farmland to Noak Hill where it becomes more suburban as it follows a narrow green strip by streams. Waymarking is generally helpful and reassuring.

2. Step 2: The walk starts in Havering-atte-Bower at the Havering Green bus stop. However the 375 service from Romford is infrequent and does not run on Sundays.

3. Step 3: The 103 to Chase Cross runs more often but stops about 1.5 miles from the start. From the 103 stop walk on, turn left into Havering Road, along Orange Tree Road and then left into North Road.

4. 

   Step 4: From the green, turn left past the 375 bus stop and then down North Road passing or popping in the Royal Oak pub.

5. 

   Step 5: Just past the pub turn right to follow footpath 7 towards Noak Hill. Keep ahead on a narrow path between the back of garages and fences.

6. 

   Step 6: Go through a gate into a fenced path across a field. Walk ahead.
