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 street


not 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.

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 Bridge

Guy?s Hospital

Crosby Row

Pilgramage St

Tabard Gardens

Tabard St

Law St

Great Dover St

Bartholomew St

New Kent Rd

Balfour St

Stead St

Orb St

Nursery Row Park

East St

Portland St

Albany Rd

Burgess Park

New Church Rd

Edmund St / Benhill Rd

Wilson Rd

Grace?s Rd

Grace?s Mews

Lettsom St

Camberwell Grove

Grove Hill Rd

Dog Kennel Hill...

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 problems

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 !

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
