Place for a xmassy boxing day walk

[mary123]

I am organising a family walk and pub lunch if open for boxing day, any recommendations..we went to Chislehurst last year..really nice but a bit too south for everyone to get to.

Sydenham woods?

[????]

Sydenham woods is the obvious one - especially if Wood House is open on Boxing Day

Or Peckham Rye Park then Clock House or Ivy House depending on which end of the park you finish up?

One Tree Hill? Or Crystal Palace Park..

Bit of a drive, but Greenwich maybe?

thanks for suggestions so far..

nunhead cemetry ..lol

Boxhill Good shout..

I was thinking of a place/area more then parks,, somewhere to walk around , pass little houses,, see the trees in peoples windows..

Chishelhurst was very much like that,, something out of bridget jones, the holiday movies.. etc ha.

Banstead? Old Coulsdon?

[siousxiesue]

Bermondsey Street is interesting, near Tower Bridge too. City is usually empty that time of year, lots of history

River walk, plenty of pubs on the way !

Ermmm Nunhead Cemetery was not a joke

It's a beautiful place

One of the magnificent 7 cemeteries in London

[enjoy]

Don't do Sydenham Wood on Boxing Day, it is just packed :-)

Walk from Kew to Richmond along the river? There's a nice riverside pub in Richmond (though will probably be rammed). In fact I think there are two, but I've only been in the older one.

Also some little pubs just up from the river, including one on Richmond Green.

Plenty of houses to nose in windows, if that's your scene, and the riverside walk is quite leafy.

ETA: There's also a pub at the Kew end of the walk - you could start in Richmond and go the other way if you wanted to end up at that one.

If you wanted a longer walk, you could walk up to Twickenham - if the ferry is running there's a nice pub on that side of the river. At least, it's nice in the Summer, never been there in the Winter!
