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.

    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first?  
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
    • We're having a bumper crop of eating apples this year - so many infact that we're wondering what to do with the surplus. Neighbours have had some and we've left some outside the house but I was thinking we could pass some on to a foodbank - or even to Kings if they're allowed to take in fruit?   Suggestions appreciated.
