Nearest station to end is Liverpool St which is a 5 min walk away.
General notes: As it’s near to Halloween dressing up is encouraged though not compulsory. It would be beneficial if you could let the leader know you are coming, either by text or email, as it’s a very busy area and would be useful to know how many people will be walking and who to wait for.
