Appendices – All London Green Grid SPG Chapter 5 GGA01 Links The Isle of Dogs Link forms a short route from the River Thames through the docklands area to the Mudchute and Millwall Park green area, joining with the River Thames again at Island Gardens. The Victoria Park/Mile End Park Link forms a continuous green space corridor from Limehouse Basin adjacent to the River Thames, to the Lee Navigation canal and the Lee Valley Regional Park. Linear canals are a dominant feature of this open space link. The Elevated Greenway Link functions as a Greenway; segregated shared access route with pedestrian priority built on top of the Northern Outfall Sewer. It is currently the only eastwest link north of the river in East London. The route is suitable both as a destination route linking with two major employment areas, and as a leisure route. At present beyond the recently refurbished section within the Olympic Park boundary the remaining sections of the Greenway to the River Roding where it meets the Thames are in need of refurbishment. The London Olympic Link will join the new parkland and local green infrastructure created as part of the Olympic Legacy, through the built area to the open landscape of Epping Forest at Wanstead. The route is mainly urban in character, with West Ham Cemetery providing a green space in-between. The Highams Park Link comprises a small tributary passing through residential areas of Highams Park. There is no formalised right of way along its length. The Clissold Park Link forms part of the Capital Ring strategic path, linking the park, nature reserve, open space, the monuments and chapel of Abney Park and through streets to the Lee Valley. The Finsbury Park Link connects the park with the complex of green space at Downhills Park and Lordship Recreation Ground through to Bruce Castle Park and Tottenham Cemetery. The Link then connects with the Tottenham Marshes in the Lee Valley Regional Park. The linkages between these green spaces run through largely residential areas. The Parkland Walk Link runs along a disused railway line connecting Finsbury Park to Highgate Wood and Queen’s Wood and then onto Alexandra Park. The Wood Green Link connects Clissold Park in the south to Finsbury Park and Alexandra Park to the north, continuing on through Wood Green to Palmers Green. Outside of these green spaces the link mainly passes through built-up areas. The Pymmes Brook Link follows a small tributary from Pickett’s Lock on the River Lee out to Monken Hadley Common in the Green Belt. The Pymmes Brook Trail links with the London LOOP in the north and the Lee Valley Walk in the south, passing through a number of parks, including Oak Hill, Brunswick, Arnos and Pymmes. The trail follows the waterway along most of its course but goes through the urban area in several areas, including crossing the A10. The Salmon Brook Link starts in the Green Belt, running through farmland before passing through residential areas and golf courses. It then connects to Bury Lodge Park and onward through cemeteries and playing fields in Edmonton to the green spaces of the Lee Valley Park at Pickett’s Lock. In this last section the Brook is only visible in these pockets of green space. The Enfield Link follows the New River course through Bush Hill Park golf course and the Town Park, connecting with the town centre. The route follows the river as it loops around the town and playing fields. The Link then moves north through largely residential areas and connects with the Green Belt at Myddelton House and Gardens and Capel Manor College. The Turkey Brook Link follows the London LOOP from the Lee Valley Walk at the Prince of Wales Open Space via Albany Park and through built areas connecting to Forty Hall Country Park, Hillyfields Park and Whitewebbs Park in the Green Belt. The Hampstead Heath Ridge Link connects the Heath to Alexandra Park in the north via Highgate Wood and in part follows the northern arm of the Parkland Walk through Muswell Hill. Parts of the route pass through residential areas and alongside a golf course. The Whitewebbs Link forms a route through the Green Belt from Hillyfields Park on the urban fringe through Whitewebbs Country Park and beyond. 57
