nina_maniana Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 As the evenings are getting lighter i was planning to start running home to east dulwich from work at london bridge. Has anyone tried this and can recommend a nice route? Don?t much fancy jogging along the old kent road...

Calsug Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I used to do it a lot from LB as well - unfortunately always went the Old Kent road way which as you highlighted isn't ideal same applies for along Peckham high streetnot wanting to deter you but its not a great run as a bit stop/start/busy/polluted - trying to get through those bits does incentivise you to run quicker though if you want a silver lining to it.. - never got round to finding a better route but heard that Map my run had some better options.

BrandNewGuy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This is the route I walk (rather than jog) ? nearly all quiet but safe and including a bit of park. Looks complicated but it'll make sense on the map :-)London BridgeGuy?s HospitalCrosby RowPilgramage StTabard GardensTabard StLaw StGreat Dover StBartholomew StNew Kent RdBalfour StStead StOrb StNursery Row ParkEast StPortland StAlbany RdBurgess ParkNew Church RdEdmund St / Benhill RdWilson RdGrace?s RdGrace?s MewsLettsom StCamberwell GroveGrove Hill RdDog Kennel Hill...

jimlad48 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I come back from Westminster to Camberwell area and find heading down river, then cutting across black prince road, down through kennington to Oval and then along new road works well - you could then cut up camberwell grove and into ED.

nina_maniana Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks all - so helpful! Feeling really inspired. The distance is a little over 8k which i know i can do quite easily from runs on the weekend, i?m just a bit nervous of traffic and fumes!

Calsug Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Its all good - a recent study found that the health benefits of running outweigh any negative affects from the pollution levels found in London. I generally run with a high vis arm band that flashes if I'm crossing lots of roads and touchwood never had any problemsnina_maniana Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Thanks all - so helpful!

lavender27 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'd run from London Bridge, only if it was falling down on me. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/183399-running-from-london-bridge/#findComment-1222398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_froeman Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Whenever I have done this I follow the same route I cycle...From london bridge down weston street then across tower bridge road, follow willow walk to burgess park, round the pond to surrey linear canal park and then in peckham cross to bellenden road.Its generally quite busy with other joggers and cyclists. I dont like to do it in the dark though ! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/183399-running-from-london-bridge/#findComment-1223140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyrobinson Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I use Bermondsey St, then Willow Walk, then the Linear Park and Bellenden Rd. Enjoy :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/183399-running-from-london-bridge/#findComment-1228324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_froeman Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You could be one of the joggers Ive seen!I think that route must be the cleanest and greenest while still being quite djrect.
