This walk follows a scent of clue in a correspondence about some mysterious underground rivers running through Leyton that link to local folklore. So we head to Leyton High Road then down towards the Leyton Orient Ground at Brisbane Road where one of the rivers may be buried. We then explore the other watercourses which link to the Roman occupation of Leyton. Our East London walking tour then goes along Church Road Leyton to Etloe House where another hidden river may run before crossing Leyton High Road and going along Markhouse Road to St James's Street Walthamstow. Turning into Coppermill Lane we pick up the course of the Dagenham Brook to Blackhorse Road Station and the new development of apartments around Vanguard Way. Finally we walk along Blackhorse Lane looking for signs of the Higham Hill Brook at Blackhorse Yard.
