Join us this weekend as we celebrate our new trail and map to connect our neighbourhoods. Enjoy the new seating for dining and drinking on Orford Road in Walthamstow Village and on Troubridge Square on Wood Street. Brand new festoon lighting is up on Ravenswood to brighten up the site as the darker nights loom.
There’s so much to do on the Walthamstow Way that you might not fit it all in one weekend, but we hope you check out some of the amazing activities happening, from DJ sets and live bandsd, to art exhibitions, and tasty food spots, and special offers when you use the special code “We’re doing the Walthamstow Way” at selected outlets.
