Three
Mills
Green/
and
park
is
situated
at
Stratford
in
the
London
Borough
of
Newham.
Also
historically
known
as
Three
Mills
Island,
because
it
is
encompassed
by
the
River
Lea
and
Bow
Creek,
Three
Mills
Weir
Wall
River,
and
the
Prescott
Channel.
The
island
(Green
/
park)
is
an
open
space
and
has
a
history
dating
back
to
the
Domesday
Survey
1086.
The
actual
Three
Mills
were
once
industrial
buildings
-
the
C.18th
early
House
Mill
(
still
remain
and
the
main
tourist
attraction
),
the
C19th
Clock
Mill,
and
a
windmill
-
demolished
in
1858.
On
Three
Mills
Green/
park
are
wide
open
well
signposted
footpaths
and
towpaths
which
provide
good
landmark
pointers
along
your
given
walk
🚶♂️
route.
During
my
visit
here
on
the
20/9/22,
I
found
the
location
easily
reached
and
shorter
in
distance
just
north
of
the
island
-
park
in
the
High
Street
(
A118)
Stratford
-
entrance
from
Danes
Yard
apartments
(
Olympic
Torch
Sculpture
opposite
side
)
then
follow
narrow
bushy
TOWPATH
south
towards
the
park
entrance.
There
are
some
interesting
modern
sculptures
and
landscape
architecture
in
the
park/
Green.
Local
public
events
sometimes
take
place
here,
and
the
park
itself
free
on
entry.
This
location
I
integrated
as
part
of
my
East
London
self
mini
-
tours.
It
can
easily
be
reached
by
TFL
bus
services
in
Stratford
High
Street
nearby
-
I
relied
on
bus
stop
(M)
Warton
Road
eastbound
No.108
and
bus
stop
diagonal
opposite
Abbey
Lane
(
stop
L)
for
108
and
D8
services
westbound.
There
is
Disabled
access
into
the
park.
But
from
the
High
Street
route
the
bushy
sided
towpath
along
Three
Mills
Weir
Wall
River
is
quite
narrow
and
an
uneven
surface
from
this
direction.
More
accessible
and
slightly
closer
from
bus
stop
(
V
)
in
Hancock
Road
(
Tesco
supermarket)
-
service
D8
south/
westbound
for
the
House
Mill
in
Three
Mills
Lane
/
Three
Mills
Island
Green
-
park.
