  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • Stamford Hill Was in the Parish of Hackney; the Other Side in Stoke Newington
    A WALK UP STAMFORD HIL (0.7 miles) 1/10 Start at the gates of Abney Park Cemetery, N16 0LH, at the side of a main roadway in and out of London, laid down by the Romans 2000 years ago. Here, until the 1850s, a bridge took the road over Hackney Brook at a ‘sandy ford’, a possible derivation of Stamford 2. Cross the road to the corner with Cazenove Road, named after a Huguenot family whose house stood opposite the other end of this road. The building on the north corner of the street was The Weavers Arms, named perhaps as it was a haunt of Spitalfields weavers on a day out from London. On the south corner was Stephens till 1970s when every part of London had its own department store 3. Walk up the hill to the Egg Stores. This shop has been here with its distinctive font since the late 1940s. It now serves the local Hassidic and wider communities: a ‘one stop shop for all things Kosher’, renowned for its pickled herring. This side of Stamford Hill was in the parish of Hackney; the other side in Stoke Newington. 4. Carry on up to Stoke Newington station, first built 1872 on the site of Ibston Lodge to serve the Great Eastern Railway from Liverpool Street station. This was the third rail line to be built across Hackney. The Station Master was provided with a house across the road at No. 41. The Station was rebuilt in 1975. Belfast Rd was the home in 1841 of Stamford Hill Breweries.
