Clapton Common and its environs – WALK (Anytime)
A historical walk around Clapton Common devised by Architectural Historian Ann Robey of The Hackney Society.Download the leaflet pdf here…http://www.hackneysociety.org/page_id__166_path__0p26p.aspxI did this recently and found it quite interesting, now is a good time to do it as some of the buildings mentioned in the leaflet are about to be demolished.

So – are we still doing this? I’m thinking we could start early pm and finish in a grim pub somewhere in UC… Hope @alexpink is practising his swagger with his trousers half-way down his butt (or lower still)!

We started with a needed monmouth coffee from Jerome at Palm 2. We took the walk route with not too much deviation, then headed through Springfield Park, along the lea to end up at The Hackney Pearl
Here are some of my photos from the walk:
