Walking alone: Barking to Upton Park... and beyond
Sunday October 25, 2026 Partly cloudy with winds of 30-40mph (48-64kph), with a high of 14°C (57°F), but feels like 10°C (50°F) With the clocks going back one hour I awoke earlier than usual. With the weather having cleared from the storm that had set in yesterday, I decided to plan a walk. I set off from home, at 09:00, and made my way to Watford underground station, where I boarded a train for Baker Street. At Baker Street I bought a coffee from the Starbucks kiosk and then headed to Platform 5, where a Hammersmith & City line pulled in moments later. I boarded, grabbed a seat and rode the train to the end of its route, at Barking.
