Walthamstow Marshes
This is part of the Hackney Marshes countryside park which is very large. This is the only cruisy bit and because it is a dead end between three railways, not that many straight come through -- though in autumn elderly ladies may come picking the blackberries and at weekends the odd straight couple could show up. It is a great place to meet a different, more alternative kind of guy, and on a sunny summer day there will be quite a few of them.
- Best time
- Summer afternoons and early evenings.
- Crowd
- A mixture of east end locals and alternative types.
- Watch out
