Local History Park Walks

Get fit for the future by walking through the past with our Local History Walks.
Why not join local historians such as Kathy Carter and members of the Newham parks team for a guided tour of your local park. Walks usually last between one and a half to two hours, and take place in Stratford, Central, Plashet, Plaistow and West Ham Parks.
