bike train to central London May 16th 7.45am


Recommended Posts

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.


We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for safer, more enjoyable cycling in London. What could be better than that? Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • Thanks for your feedback - we always appreciate hearing from members about their experience. The pool temperature at JAGS Sports Club is maintained at 29oC, in line with industry guidelines for mixed-use pools.  This temperature has been designed to balance comfort for lane swimmers and families. Air temperature is also monitored regularly to ensure a comfortable environment for swimmers, spectators and staff. The shower Temperature Mixing Valves (TMVs) were changed in December to improve consistency, and we hope this has made a noticeable difference. If you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please contact us directly at [email protected] or 020 8613 6500 and we'll be really happy to help.  
    • One wonders if he would have defected if he had, ahem, held on to the leadership of Southwark and whether he felt that "Labour are no longer the vehicle for social justice" during his leadership election........my how quickly things change in the thoughts of a politician 😉 I think this sums things up quite nicely: A senior Southwark Labour spokesperson hit back: “Local residents can draw their own conclusions about Cllr McAsh’s swift move from Labour leadership hopeful to the Green Party, after he didn’t get his own way. While he’s thinking about his own career, Southwark Labour are delivering for residents.” One wonders if he will stand as a Green candidate in Goose Green.
    • No doubt if he determines to stand for a ward he will enlighten us - at least his track record is one of using this site to communicate (inter alia). I would suspect that (1) his personal views on traffic will have remained consistent but that (2) his views on local democracy and proper consultation will have as well.
    • Yes, but I want to know where he stands on all this stuff now. My feeling is it won't be any different from Labour?
