Experience the clash between the former industrial area and the funky artistic area Hackney has become, and how it changed with the preparations and constructions for the Olympics. Explore the story of the Olympics and Paralympics, what they bring to London’s Olympic Boroughs, the changes of the area, and walk past some of the key Olympics sites.

This exciting walk is part of the main Two2Go event that also feature a trial marathon, shorter runs, arts activities and facepainting. Two2Go and CoolTan Arts gained Olympic “Inspire” status for these events due to their stimulating, accessible and participative nature.

So come down at 2pm to Hackney Marshes in Homerton Road, London, E9 5PF and take part!

The walk will end at Pudding Mill Lane by View tube; some of the walk leaders will be able to take you back to the main Two2Go event at Hackney Marshes.
