social cycle ride 9.30am Saturday March 17th


Recommended Posts

Early start and later finish. All welcome. All free.


This is one of the Plus + rides which starts at 9.30am in Burgess Park and finishes at 1pm in the same place. Being nearly twice as long as usual it gets a lot further. To Bishops Park, Fulham in fact. I read that as Bishops Park Durham first time but it's not as far as that.


The ride starts at Park Life Cafe, Chumleigh Gardens, off Albany Rd, SE5 0RJ. The organisers like cafes and try to include one or two. The outward route from Burgess Park goes via Battersea Park, Albert Bridge and Chelsea Harbour. There's a coffee stop in Bishops Park (I told you).


Then back via Putney Bridge, Wandsworth Park and Thames Path. This is a flat route on the Thames basin -- about 18 miles. Jane leading. The route is at https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4698722.html


These rides are organised on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. You don't have to be a member of anything. You don't have to pay. There are no ID or address checks. Everyone welcome - whatever level of cyclist and whatever kind of bike. We are here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • 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, some of it 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   
    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
