Canary Wharf to Walthamstow: Wetlands, Docks, Mills & Hidden London

**DESCRIPTION** Join us for a varied East London hike taking us from the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf through a surprisingly green and historic side of London, finishing in Walthamstow. We’ll follow waterways, docks and old industrial landscapes through Eden Dock and Limehouse, passing the historic House Mill and Three Mills before heading into the Olympic park and Lea Valley and across Hackney Marshes. From there we’ll continue towards the beautiful Walthamstow Wetlands before finishing at Big Penny Social in Walthamstow, where we can stop for a well-earned drink and/or food. Expect a mixture of canals, riverside paths, marshland, wetlands, industrial heritage and some of London’s less obvious green spaces, with plenty to see along the way. It’s a great opportunity to explore a different side of East London while getting a decent day’s walking in. ★ Special Feature: The Return of "Walking ChatGPT" For those who've joined our previous London Walk Series events, you'll be pleased to know that Toby, affectionately known as "Walking ChatGPT", will once again be sharing fascinating insights, local history, hidden stories and quirky facts throughout the walk. **WHAT TO EXPECT - HIKING INFO** Distance: **15kM** route Ascent: c.**76 metres** Estimated Duration (approx): **4 hours walking** Difficulty: \**[Moderate](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/hike-grade)* **WHAT TO EXPECT - PREVIOUS DAY HIKE REELS** * [2025 SUNSET Seven Sisters Social hike, Sunset Seaford Swim...and Sleep well Sunday](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTA7n2QiNro/) * [2026 🌞 Sunset Stonehenge Summer Solstice Hike: Stay, Sleep, and Sunrise Sunday](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaHqS_ZI0Ji/) **PROGRAMME** Meeting Point: Canary Wharf Jubilee Station at 11:00.

🗣️ Arabic Practice Circle: Social & Structured Session

A regular meetup for those committed to practising and improving their Arabic. It is designed for those who know the very basics and want a structured opportunity to practise reading, listening, speaking, and building confidence. If you're still learning the very basics but want some motivation to keep going, you're very welcome to join. Note: This is a practice group facilitated by a native speaker - not a formal teacher or taught class, and not a Quran teaching session. 📚 SESSION FORMAT: ⏱️ 30 mins Intro & Social: We'll go around and introduce ourselves in Arabic. Feel free to prepare 2-3 sentences beforehand if you don't like being put on the spot! 🗣️ 60 mins Structured Practice: A focused session practising together with guidance : ◾ Taking turns reading passages aloud ◾ Listening to excerpts from an audiobook ◾ Working together to translate and understand the text 💬 Continued Socialising: Feel free to stick around afterwards for more informal chat and connection. ✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity, in this case, it is a practice session requiring mental engagement and active participation (and not just a social), therefore it is advised to approach and attend these events with that mindset, intention and purpose. 📍 LOCATION: Kismet Café ⏱️ TIME: Meet from **11:00am** for intros and socialising. The practice session starts promptly at **11:30am** insha'Allah. 🎒 What to bring: 📚 Any Arabic texts you would like to read 🎧 Headphones (optional, if you prefer listening privately) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to free up your spot for someone on the waiting list. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims)** *(Follow for latest events updates)*

Let's go to Pool House!

For the first time we will be Heading to Pool House which is like a Flight Club meets Pool event. We have two tables booked for 8 people per table for this unique experience! You don't have to be an expert at Pool or played before as the games are available for all levels **What is Pool House?** **More than just Pool..** Choose from a range of interactive games brought to life by dynamic projections on the table. Our technology tracks every shot, keeps score automatically and learns your ability over time, creating fairer, more competitive games for everyone at the table. Whether you're chasing the leaderboard or just playing for fun, every game feels a little different. This is pool culture, reimagined for a new era. You already know the sport, but you've never played it like this. Same cues, same balls, same satisfying clack. But the table's alive with interactive games projected directly onto each table, transforming the baize into a dynamic playing surface. Hidden AI tracks every shot and adjusts to your ability, so whether it's your first game or your hundredth, the winning shot is always within reach. **The Games** Designed to be played in teams, every game mode brings its own challenge. PotShots rewards bold play, with bonus targets, obstacles and big-scoring opportunities. CliffEdge is all about precision and control. Killer is a battle for survival where every shot counts, while Void rewards strategy, forcing players to think ahead and outplay their opponents. Behind it all: automatic scoring, live leaderboards and dynamic handicaps help balance the competition, so players of all abilities can compete together and stay in the game. And there's more to come. A brand-new game mode is on the way, bringing even more pressure, competition and heart-racing moments to the table. Watch this space. **How it Works** Getting started is easy. Pick your game, choose your team, and let the table do the rest. ### Create your profile Use the kiosk screens to check in, take your player selfie and let the table learn your skill from the first shot. ### Play your way Pick your mode and let the games begin! The table handles the scoring, so you can focus on that winning shot. ### Climb the ranks Play more to increase your Poolhouse rating, track your progress and see who you need to beat next.

After Work Drinks - 30s, 40s & beyond - Out of Office Adventures Together!

Our very first Out of Office Adventures Together meetup! Are you in your 30s or 40s or beyond.... and want to make the most of your time outside of the office. We’re starting small for relaxed after work drinks in Canary Wharf. No organised activities, no awkward icebreakers and definitely no networking pitches. Just a small group of people in their 30s, 40s and beyond getting together for a drink, a chat and hopefully meeting some people they’d actually like to see again. This is the beginning of the OOO community, so it’s also a chance to chat about the kinds of things we’d love to do next — from London socials to hikes and day trips. **Canary Wharf — The Parlour - booked for 6.30pm** Coming alone is absolutely encouraged. Grab a drink, meet some new people and help us kick off our first adventure. Great people. Great places. Great times.
