Recommended Posts

On Feb 5th we will have 2 rides, one 3.5 hours and one 2.5 hours. Registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are occasional cancellations during the week and also going on the Wait List can be successful. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


SE London Sights - Burgess Park to Cutty Sark


10am to 12.30. Start/finish Fuorvito Caf? (ex Park Life Caf?), Burgess Park, Chumleigh Gardens, SE5 0RJ. Simon S. leading. An easy-paced, pretty flat ride taking in some iconic sights of SE London: the Cutty Sark, the Thames Path, Greenland Dock and Stave Hill - not to mention Millwall FC's stadium (twice!). Nearly all on quiet cycleways. Coffee stop at the Cutty Sark. Fantastic views from Stave Hill. 12 miles. Route map:




Dulwich to Kensington Gardens 10am to 1.30pm. Start/finish Dulwich Clock Caf?, Dulwich Park. Usual mix of cycle lanes, quiet streets and short busy roads, suitable for most levels of cyclist. Some modest uphill stretches. Outward route via Brockwell Park, Brixton, the Oval, Vauxhall Bridge, Eaton Square and Hyde Park. Short coffee stop at Kensington Palace. Return route via Exhibition Rd, South Kensington, Albert Bridge, Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, Clapham Common, Brixton Mill and Brockwell Park. Lots to see on this ride. 16.5 miles. Route map:

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
