Wanstead to Greenwich. Grade = easy

A cold but clear day made the trip to Greenwich worthwhile.
Travelling with two strollers we departed from South Woodford (5 steps to West bound platform) but could have gone from Wanstead if baby hadn't done a huge poo making me late to meet my friend, hence the Sth Woodford departure.
West bound Central Line to Stratford, with transfer to the DLR (at the top end of the platform) with an annoying 5/6 steps up to the fast track entrance to the DLR - easy enough to do pulling the stroller up backwards.
Stratford to Canary Wharf and then a simple cross across the platform for a DLR to Lewisham. The DLR is very stroller friendly. Arrival at Greenwich was swift and then an easy lift ride at Cutty Sark to street level - simple.
Stroll around the park and a nice burger (with a huge, fat homemade patty) at the Greenwich Union on Royal Hill. The staff were friendly and completely fine about the two babies in tow, unlike the Richard the First who allow "18+ only luv". Thanks mate, it's not like we were planning on bringing toddlers in...

Anyway, another good thing to note about Greenwich is the lovely hot chocolate at the Maritime Museum (free entry) cafe, which also has high chairs and great baby changing facilities - my advice, unless you want your baby to look like it's about to shite itself, don't use the dyson airblade when the baby is in the room.
