E5 Clapton
Station - Clapton (BR Liverpool Street).
Clapton is part of northern Hackney, sloping down to the River Lea through an
extensive mixture of many of the residential building styles of the past hundred
and fifty years or so - although few of the pubs seem to display the earlier
styles. The railway cuts through the area and leaps the Lea besides the only
real riverside stretch in this guide, from which a string of pubs benefits from
some tranquil views over the Hackney Marshes. The river is part of our canal
network, and the intrepid can sail to Manchester and even beyond from here.
There is still some commercial traffic, although not as much as when local
Victorian canal poet Cosmo Pilkington came over to pen a few lines - "I sail my
barge down the Lea/and see a pub - It's ale for me!/Off the barge and in the
bar/Soon I'm getting down a jar". Truly the local answer to McGonagall.
The Lea Valley Regional Park extends from here right up to Ware in
Hertfordshire.
