Trip to Lea valley

Group 1 went to our site (Area 1 on the map), exploring what happen and happened in there.

Our journey started from Stratford station, walking down along the Lea valley, ending up
with Thames river. However, we found a lot of obstacles and less sign posts on the way to River Thames, the journey was not smooth as we had expected.

This is a greenway without attractive planting. Because of less post signs, we lost the way to the Lea valley.


The end of the path. We were not allowed to go further away, had to turn around... All of us found one of our tasks in this site could be accessibility.

Stratford is also known as coming Olympic site. The site has been developing dramatically, major construction have been carring out aroud the station. It seems that the considerable problem is not only the noise from works, but also the view of ununified buildings.

In contrast to that, we found a pretty historical place on the journey.

The three mills are former working mills, used as film studio today. Green space, water way and historical architecture are well harmonized in here. All of us could feel calm and thought this place has to be protected in the future.
