Bike train to central London and beyond July 18th


Recommended Posts

The Bike Train is a guided ride from Peckham Rye and Nunhead Stations to central London. We use segregated cycle lanes, parks and backstreets to keep riders safe all the time. The ride leaves Nunhead at 7.45am, swings by Peckham Rye station at 7.55am and reaches the Thames at 8.30am. We don't go fast. I'm in front and kindly friends reckon I do 8mph (twice walking speed).


Quietway 1 is still the route of choice. London's best in fact arguably its only good Quietway. It's only ten minutes of green route and backstreet from Peckham town centre. Come with us and we'll show you how the most risk-averse can get to central London,?feathers fully unruffled.


QW1 crosses all the approach roads to the Thames bridges ? starting with Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge and finally Blackfriars. Riders can be taken to any one of them, take your pick and be taken on if you let us know in advance.


Any queries text me on 07842 640 207 or mail us on [email protected]. Everyone welcome. Return rides arranged on request. Most things arranged on request. Just ask. If this doesn't suit you but the idea of cycling to work does then think of trying our bike taxis which are a personalised, escorted ride to work.


All this stuff is organised by Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and you don't have to join anything. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • How about trying the upstairs of some local pubs like EDT? They prob won't stay open until wee small hours but worth a try... or night at Rivoli Ballroom Catford (too old?!) or somewhere up in town for drinks rather than hiring somewhere.
    • Sadly crime does seem to be going up in terms of opportunists and street crime / bike thefts etc. Lack of CCTV in this area means it's more of a target than some neighbouring areas according to police (when they sent victim support round after our car had its catalytic converter stolen twice in 6 months by organised gang complete with balaclavas, iron bars and a chainsaw.. driving a 4x4). Crime still relatively low by some parts of London standards but a worrying trend if burglars are trying their luck when people are actually home. Wonder what local police/ MP thoughts are in terms of whether they could organise more community policing patrols. I read a woman was punched in the face on/near Lordship Lane in an unprovoked attack a week or two ago. Terrifying.
    • We had shutters and roller blind supplied and fitted by Affordable Shutters when we first moved into our house in 2012 and highly recommend them. One of the poles and a couple of shutter staples recently came loose and they scheduled in a visit when they were in the area at no charge. Lovely customer service, great quality, honestly cannot fault their service (shutters are made to measure so you have to wait but they're worth waiting for). https://affordableshutters.co.uk/
