Where in East Dulwich?


I cycle from South Kensington to near the Harvester avoiding big hills and you could definitely use that route in reverse from Battersea Park. In reverse, it would be via Brixton (via Dulwich Park, Burbage Road, Herne Hill, Railton Road but obviously that will change depending on where you are), along Stockwell Road, down South Lambeth Road and turn down Lansdowne Way, along Wandsworth Road and down Thessaly Road, then a busy stretch along Nine Elms to the roundabout near Battersea Park.


Hope that helps...

I personally enjoy cycling along the South Circular which takes you through Clapham Common and over Battersea Bridge into West Brompton. Afraid you do get a hill each way, but it will make you fit. Avoids the hell that is cycling in terrible traffic in Vauxhall. Despite being the South Circular, it's a stretch that is nice to cycle with plenty of road space. It saves cutting across central London.

Emilou - I cycle to Hammersmith regularly and always try new routes and the one you suggest is the quickest. Distance-wise it might not be the shortest but there are few lights along the embankment so you keep moving.


It's busy but there are lots of cycle lanes and I think it's safer than the back routes where cars are nipping in and out of junctions to beat the traffic. Vauxhall is fine - just take the pedestrian/cycle route under the train line rather than go round the ring road.

    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay. 
    • I'm not on the WhatsApp group ,and he only appears every now and again but does look like he's needs a good home and is not neutered. 
    • Why are you so rude? What has race got to do with anything? That's got nothing to do with whether or not a description is posted on here  The OP said the cyclist was being pursued by the police. If that's the case, then the police will presumably have his  description, including skin colour  If you think you encountered the same cyclist and could have been seriously hurt, then tell the police. And you have lost your bet, btw. You know nothing at all about me or my background except what I have posted on this forum,  and are making assumptions based on what appears to be a total lack of understanding of the reasons for my posts.
    • Worth posting on local street Whatsapp groups? Guessing no info from door knocking.  Those def look like unneutered Tom cat cheeks. Would be brilliant if a rescue could trap and at least neuter and return if he's a stray. Ideally find him a home - he'll settle more when neutered. Poor chap xxx    HP
