commuter ride to central London via QW1 Oct 18th

QW1 is a very good quietway but tricky to find from here. It's well signposted but the twists and turns can be hard to follow first time and difficult to memorise in one go. It follows the line of the river with turn off points on the approach roads to all the bridges. You choose which one suits you. We take you to your destination.


We start from outside Nunhead station at 7.45am and pick up riders at Peckham Rye station from the bike stands outside McDonalds at 7.55am. After that it's a pleasant trundle to the river arriving approx 8.30am depending on which bridge you want. The line from Denmark Hill has been stood down for the winter so if you want to start there give me a ring and we will come and get you.


You can phone or text me on 07842 640 207. At this point in the season it's probably best to phone/text ahead. Return rides arranged, maps provided. These rides are run by southwark cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. We are mostly members but you don't have to be and we mostly live in Southwark but you don't have to. All welcome and all free.

    • 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. 
    • Carnivorous mice? Jeez!
