Did you know that within a 27-minute walk of your new home, you can reach shops and facilities along Gallions Reach Shopping Centre, Beckton Retail Park, and Beckton Triangle Retail Park? You can also access public transport facilities, leisure areas, and the ExCel Building within a 40-minute walk. Take a look at the local area map to find out more.
Walking really is a great way to get around and the best thing is, it’s free! It is also an easy way to get some movement into your daily routine. As adults it’s recommended we get 150 minutes of exercise per week, one of the easiest ways to achieve this can be to hop off the bus a couple of stops early! Benefits of walking include lowering the risk of obesity, reducing the risk of both chronic diseases and high blood pressure, preventing joint problems, as well as having a positive effect on your mood. Studies show that walking can encourage and improve creativity too – so why not head out for a walk now?
Cycling is an excellent way to get about – it is around three times faster than walking and in some cases faster than driving too – particularly in central London! National Cycle Route 1 runs close to Gallions Place and is a long-distance route that connects you to Tower Bridge in Central London and Purfleet.
Have you downloaded the Brompton Bikes app? You can reserve and hire a bike for just £5 a day at one of the 25+ train stations, including Gallions Reach DLR station.
