I put the train-assisted bit up front to remind anyone planning to come to bring their Oyster/contactless cards with them. The ride was planned a month ago to go via Haggerston but those planned engineering works keep on coming and the line from Highbury and Islington to Shadwell will be shut on Saturday, wiping out the Haggerston arm at a stroke.

So instead the ride will meet at Canada Water library (SE16 7AR) at 10am and (as previously planned) take the Overground which is very good for bikes (spacious lifts and trains every 3-4 minutes) but this time to Shadwell. After that riders will head across to Mile End, partly on an upgraded CS2. The new route has interesting points of its own and goes though Queen Mary Campus and across the new Meath Bridge over the Regents Canal.

Then Regents Canal itself and Wapping Thameside as before. At Limehouse the ride will follow the Thames upstream to Tower Bridge. Then cross Tower Bridge and follow NR4 along the south bank back to Canada Water. Easy, flat, ride almost entirely on quiet roads and paths. Back to Canada Water at noon.

  Thanks very much for that. I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green. Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR, of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us, can when successful seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.

  Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves. Seems ED might be one of them ☹️

  Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links. You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre. The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast
