Today, between 10am and 8pm, there will be fun for the whole family in the borough's "hinterlands" - along the Lea Navigation towpath. Explore an area that was once an important part of London's industry and a transport artery. It's still both of these to an extent, but it's also taken on a vital role in providing a cooling strip bisecting the capital's ever hotter "heat island". All free, courtesy of the Canal and Rivers Trust and Enfield Climate Action Forum - see their invitation below.
