Hi all. About to move to Overhill Road and just looked at Google maps to find the best walking route to HOP station. Apart from Overhill Passage, it just shows roads. Anyone know of a footpath map of the area, or even better, a nicer or greener route between those 2 points? Thanks!

The green chain walk path should take to you to One tree hill then it is just down the hill to the station. http://www.greenchain.com/walks/section-11.php


It is fantastic in spring. Ideally there would be a path through Camberwell New cemetery straight to the station but it is all fenced off.

Went the same way a Lordship Lane station didn't it? Closed around 1955.

Time passes so quickly.


Both stations closed 1954


Honor Oak Station.


Date opened: 1.12.1865

Location: South side of Forest Hill Road

Company on opening: Crystal Palace and South London Junction Railway

Date closed to passengers: 20.9.1954

Date closed completely: 20.9.1954

Company on closing: British Railways (Southern Region)

Present state: Demolished - the site is lost under the Wood Vale Estate

Well, yes that's fascinating but going back to my question B) - apart from the Green Chain link (thanks for that) is there actually such thing as a footpath map....or at least a walking map for the area?


PS someone very cleverly altered the name of my thread - much more helpful actually so thank you!

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
