The Greenway is a 7-kilometre (4.3 mi) long footpath and bike freeway in London. Often overlooked by Londoners, the Greenway is a pleasant, raised path and cycleway that carves a straight(ish) line through east London.

​

This high-level path constructed as a footpath and cycleway is one of the more excellent routes to travel for it is a haven for wildlife. Not only will you get some worthwhile views along the way, but there are plenty of trees and shrubs to attract birds and bees too.

​

Points of interest along the 7.1 km route include the River Lea and Lea Navigation, Abbey Mills Pumping Station, and the Olympic Park. The Greenway benefitted from the London 2012 effect as an architectural firm worked to incorporate it with the Olympic Park – this included landscaping touches using salvaged timber and concrete perches.
