Our walk from Leyton Midland station (on the Suffragette Line) to Leyton tube station takes us along the course of a hidden river, past a 16th Century house hiding in plain sight, through residential streets and green spaces. We meet the UK’s first Asian policewoman and the first black footballer to play for England in a competitive international match and the man who invented the tube map.
