Charlie Chaplin-themed cycle ride Sat Nov 25th

Recommended Posts

This is one of the regular Saturday morning sociable cycle rides -- this time themed around the life of Charlie Chaplin, the most dramatic rags-to-riches story ever told. He was (probably) born in East Street but spent most of his hard and destitute childhood in Lambeth before the rise to fame that everyone knows about.


The ride starts in Peckham Square (SE15 5JR) between the Pulse and the Library at 10am and finishes back there at 12 noon. A two-hour ride Chaplin was born from Peckham can include his birthplace and many places he lived in while growing up, including the Lambeth Workhouse.


The attached pdf describes the route and briefly Chaplin's life. The route is here: http://www.mapmyride.com/workout/2508868517 and it's all in the London basin so flat and easy paced.

    • Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'! 
    • Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,? 
    • Another recommendation here for Jason.  He came to plaster over a section of ceiling that we had to remove in order to investigate a leak.  He is a really lovely guy, easy to get in touch with and great communication.  He was quick, tidy and competitively priced.  Very happy and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.
    • I run my own business making children's themed birthday hampers, party bags and more for all occasions, feel free to get in touch on 07493638779 for more photos of what I do.
