This walk follows the Thomas England Walk through 4 of the ‘green lung’ parks of Romford. It has been difficult finding a lunchtime pub so I have had to be creative. Therefore, we take a 1.5 walk through Lodge Farm Park and a bus ride to the pub. We then return to the walk by bus going through Raphael Park and Rise Park to Bedfprds Park where we take a circular route including the lake and the red deer sanctuary before catching a bus back to Romford Station. Good paths throughout.
