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!

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
