This is a Canada Water one -- starts 10am from outside Canada Water Library and returns to the same place at 12 noon. It's a very safe, mostly off-road route -- lots of it on National Route 4.

The ride heads off along the Thames (mostly NR4) to Greenwich and then goes under the water at the foot tunnel near the Cutty Sark. It pops up in Island Gardens like you do and then heads along the north bank to Tower Bridge.

Tower Bridge is narrow and congested but the speed limit is 20mph and the congestion stops speeds getting to that. And it's strictly enforced. There are weight limits which TfL enforces against everyone except buses so the bridge is not as difficult for cyclists as you might expect. Cross on it to the south bank and then head back to Canada Water (again mostly NR4)

David is leading. This is the map

  I am looking for a mobile mechanic to help me either take out my car battery or connect a trickle charger. Does anyone have any contacts for this. Thanks

  We need to build houses for social rent. Not 'affordable housing' (which is a euphemism for housing that is completely unaffordable to most) - actual council housing. Taxes do need to go up. We have to stabilise public services and start paying down our national debt to break free of the sway bond markets have over UK governments freedom to act. We are probably all going to have to work longer too. The original UK state pension was there to help those who often had been in physically demanding manual or labouring jobs. The retirement age was set above average life expectancy at the time; It was not designed for a population of mainly white collar workers people to spend one-quarter, to one-third of their adult life in retirement. I know that may sound harsh, and I certainly don't want to work forever, but the fact is that we have an aging population and a diminishing tax base, and no politician who is willing to make fundamental reforms. Mostly we need to grow, and that means at some point, addressing our relationship with the world's largest trading block right on our doorstep. The damage done by Brexit has been crazy. The fact that it's chief architect has managed to come up smelling of roses and may potentially be our next PM is just mind blowing to me.

  Mice will eat *anything*! That shop had a couple of very low food hygiene ratings over the years (and it was closed for "refurbishment" for a while which was obviously the first attempt to deal with the pest problem) so I'm not surprised by that article. You'd hope that pest control would have dealt with the majority of them...

  Makes me wonder where the mice will have gone since it closed down.
