Husband cycled out to Greenwich yesterday, didn?t like cycling along the path there at all, I think he said lots of cobbles? He goes very early so don?t know about number of people.


Today he cycled to Keston Common, took him about 90 minutes there (uphill) and back. Couldn?t give you the route as he weaves about all over the place. He came back via the Pool River.

Some parts of the Thames path are narrow, but most bikes and pedestrians seem to manage. If you are on thin tyres the cobbles around the Cutty Sark pub can act like tram tracks, beware! The Anchor and Hope pub is a nice stop near Charlton as it is the only riverside pub that I know that has not been tarted up/gastro'd/over priced. It's Greene King though which is a shame.


Thinking of East Dulwich you can miss some of the worst traffic out going via the Rye, over the pedestrian bridge to Crofton Park then down to Ladywell where you can get on the Waterlink Way.


You can also combine a hills of Lewisham ride - One Tree Hill, Blythe Hill, Telegraph Hill, and possibly Horniman Hill. Although this can involve the race track aka Brenchley Gardens.


Southwark Cyclists (that anarchy group trying to bring down the state - my joke) do some nice gentle rides. I'd recommend Penge Cyclists rather than Dulwich Paragon if you want some more testing social rides but at a reasonably relaxed speed. Southwark Cyclists usually post on the Whats On section of this site.

    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
    • The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access.  It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork.  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
