Cycling to work and Burgess Park closure

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any of you other ED cyclists could help me out. I cycle from ED to Old Street for work, and try to take as many quiet routes as possible. This usually means cutting through a lot of Burgess park (I aim for Southwark bridge due to London Bridge being a bit manic). Since the park is closed for a good while for regeneration, does anyone have tips of other ways to get to Southwark Bridge? Or even if you use London Bridge, any tips for avoiding the main roads?


I would be grateful for any suggestions - at the moment I keep ending up going at least a mile out of my way for no good reason!

i go peckham rye to bishopsgate/liverpool st every day


i go down the surrey canal (behind the library), then onto the road when that ends, old kent road as far as tescos, down the left of tescos, left onto a road behind the royal mail sorting office, eventually coming to tower bridge road, over tower bridge, one way system as far as whitechapel road....then you could go left onto commerical st all the way to old st.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
