This is one of the longer Plus+ rides. It starts at 9.30am from the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park (chumleigh gardens SE5 0RJ. It's called Commons, Parks and Windmills because that's what you get.


The plan is a loop starting in Burgess Park and then passing by or through Lambeth and Wandsworth parks starting with Myatts Fields. There will be a visit to Brixton Windmill and then on to Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common, Wandsworth Windmill, Tooting Bec Common and Brockwell Park. The route is a big circle ending up on the Surrey Canal Path back to Burgess Park.


The route with toilets and tricky bits specially marked is here:

It's free and everyone is welcome. Children must bring at least one adult.


This ride is organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign and we (and they) campaign for safer cycling in London.


Before the ride (on Weds November 14th to be exact) Southwark Cyclists are holding their AGM. Speaker will be Michael Barrett MBE who looks after traffic arrangements around larger building developments and jointly set up the Road Safety Patrols (rides around current sites sorting out problems) with Southwark Cyclists.


Time is 6.30, place 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (in Camberwell). More info at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/agm-and-monthly-meeting/. Note talk will be followed by AGM, including a short report on Healthy Rides. At some point there will be free food and drink. Everyone welcome.

    • As I understand it Charlie Smith did put himself forward for selection in GG but Labour members chose someone else to represent them, Liam McGrath https://southwarklabour.com/our-candidates/   It'll be interesting to see if there are other defections - surely the Greens want a drip, drip, drip of news from now to May suggesting the momentum is with them. 
    • 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.
