We are using QW1 (map attached). London's best and in some ways only (decent) quietway. It's Greenwich to Waterloo and passes within half a mile of Peckham with a quiet linking route. TfL don?t approve of signposting how to get to Quietways (don?t ask) so we can?t have any signs pointing the way. But you can come with us and we?ll show you.


The Bike Train leaves Nunhead station at 7.45am , and leaves the Peckham Rye station at 7.55am. Departures are from the bike stands behind McDonalds on the north side of the station. We all know where McDonalds is even if we don?t go there.


Then full steam to Quietway 1 and full steam to Blackfriars Bridge by 8.30am. From there protected lanes lead north towards Kings Cross, west towards Westminster and east towards Tower Bridge. The most dangerous bit of your ride will be Rye Lane.


Return rides arranged on request. The train is led by me and I?m 65. My pace is sedate. I haven?t outpaced anyone for a long time. It?s all free. There is no catch. It?s helpful if you text me to say you are coming: 07842 640 207 or email [email protected] for more info.

      Burglary Lacon Road

      Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality.

      Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.

      No it is not, it is a fact whether you like it or not. Do you feel safe on the streets, because I don't, do you go too central London, I don't as I don't feel safe. No one knows if someone is i) carrying a weapon or a knife and ii) you don't know what will trigger them to use it. So feel free to live in your bubble, but the reality is London is lawless and the police stand by and do nothing.

      Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

      By Kate K · Posted

      Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him.
