Harry, who is leading this one, has worked out another great route. This one starts in Peckham Square at 10am and returns 2 hours later. The usual meeting place is the crescent shaped bench at the foot of the steps facing the library and with the Pulse on your left.

This is a 9.5 mile, flat ride. It starts along Surrey canal path, winds around a little to reach Burgess park, then via Bagshot street to the New Kent road. There will be stops at Newington Gardens (Location of Horsemonger Lane Goal), Angel Place (Location of Marshalsea Prison), Bear Gardens (Location of the Ferryman?s Seat) and Scovell road (Location of Kings Bench Prison). All the nearby prisons in fact.

The return will be via Quietway 1 (Q1), Coopers Rd Mawbey Place to look at the new road closure and Glengall Road back to the Canal Path again. The whole route is here: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1760844296

- Do you feel unsafe in London?
  
  By David Peckham · Posted 10 minutes ago
  
  Central London, partularly Soho and Fitzrovia, seems to be more about sneaky crimes like hugger-muggering and pickpocketing rather than anything violent these days. I'd never wear a decent watch if I went into town in the evening. There are a couple of places, like Tottenham, Hackney'and Harlesden, I'm particularly on my guard in - mainly because I don't really know them too well. Bits of New Cross and Deptford can be a bit hairy, as well. The parts of central London which were dodgiest twenty or thirty years ago, King's Cross or Shoreditch for example, have changed beyond recognition. Statistically, London is safer than it was thirty years ago. Wobbling around the Elephant after a heavy night in the Ministry of Sound wasn't a great move around 2000; it wouldn't seem as idiotic these days. It's still not pleasant though and you have to keep your wits about you in Camberwell after midnight, even now. Overall, most of London is far safer, statistically, than the smaller provincial cities and larger towns. Middlesbrough is genuinely scary after dark, which is strange because the people are lovely during the day. Likewise Bradford and Hull. Apart from the lovely people, clearly. Other than the 'Unite the Kingdom' march last week, I've never really seen the drunken flag waving you mention. Not in London, anyway. I'd avoid the Medway towns, if I was you.

  I don't really see the issue. It's taking up a small part of Goose Green. I was able to happily eat my lunch there today witthout the fair impinging on my space or enjoyment. I presume they have chosen that location as it is near the playground, so parents with young children often go there at the weekend. I don't really see the issue.

  Here you go again trying to twist things saying I made personal saying I don't feel safe, but it's you firing and demanding answers, you're not the police and nor are you a moderator. No its not a reasonable question, nor is saying I should go live somewhere else. You have a habit on here of "demanding" answers, not on.
