Outing to Abney Park

[Ian Stedman]

Hi,

Shall we try for Sunday 26th November, with the 17th December as a reserve date, in case the weather is rather wet?

Meet at Liverpool Street Station around 10:30am, then we all take the Overground to Stoke Newington.
For those travelling from Orpington, take the train to London Bridge, then the Northern line to Moorgate. It's a short walk to Liverpool Street.

Stoke Newington  Church street, which is nearby, has a number of eating and drinking places, hopefully without the hills we encountered in Highgate!

Who was interested in going, I can only see the number of votes?

Hi,

Who is coming along tomorrow?
A 40% chance of rain in the middle of the afternoon but dry before that. With good timing, we'll be having something to eat and drink if that happens.

Hopefully the trains will be running Ok from Liverpool Street, this was in the TFL travel update:

No service between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town/Cheshunt/Chingford until 10:15
Use alternative Tube services or local bus routes. Rail replacement buses will run between Seven Sisters and Enfield Town/Cheshunt, and between Hackney Downs and Chingford. This is due to Network Rail works.

Our 10:30am meetup should be fine, there is also a bus from Liverpool Street to Stoke Newington.

Many thanks to Ian for organising the outing to Abney Park Cemetery yesterday.  Quite a journey to get there, but well worth the effort with the autumn colours and dog walkers.  Here's few pics from the day...

Great day out - very atmospheric.
