This stroll around Canning Town and Custom House in East London starts at Star Lane then goes down to Rathbone Market on Barking Road. We take a look at Canning Town Public Hall where many important meetings were held at the end of the 19th and early 20th Century addressed by speakers such as Keir Hardie, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Bertrand Russell. We then go to the Gandhi Chaplin Memorial Park where two of the greatest people of the 20th Century met in house in 1931. From here we cross the A13 and go down Forty Acre Lane to Keir Hardie Recreation Ground where we talk about the former MP for West Ham South and the great actor Danny Dyer who was born and raised in Custom House. From Victoria Dock Road we look across to the Royal Docks before turning along Freemasons Road to Canning Town Recreation Park where our walk ends at the beautiful Carnegie Library at Custom House.
