The Lea, London's second river, has been both an essential supply line for the city's food and an essential source of water power. We start on a path with water either side - the Navigation that took the barges on one and the river that gave the tidal power to Three Mills on the other. Trace what's become of the latticework of cuts and canals that supported West Ham's myriad polluting industries before bursting into the Olympic Park by the back door. Enjoy the reveal of one of London's most remarkable transformations - land once unfit for human habitation has become one of the biggest new pieces of cityscape. Take in the breadth of new design and explore the park's hidden corners. Move from Sadlers Wells, the V & A and University College, through the remaining Olympic venues to the revitalised landscapes of the park, the Lea Valley and Hackney Marshes.
