This ride called Gardens in the City is one of a series of longer rides going that bit further. Still easy paced and free. Because it goes into the city this one is also completely flat, which is nice.

There are a lot of small green spaces in the City, many with an interesting history. They are easily missed in the daily rush around, so here is an opportunity to seek them out. The ride is being led by Werner who says it will definitely include the Inner Temple, Smithfield Rotunda, Postman's Park with the Watts memorial and St Mary's Aldermanbury with probably time for many more such as Bunhill Fields and Charterhouse Square.

The ride starts and finishes at Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR. Start time is 9.30, finishing at 1pm. Canada Water is on the Overground with excellent lift access to the lines but check the status before you travel

The exact route is fluid so there's no map. Bruce's phone no is: 07729 279 945

- Do you feel unsafe in London?

  I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

  The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence. Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.

  Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread? If so, I agree it's mysterious.

  Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say. Take care Sue.
