Cycle Ride through Lambeth?s Small Open Spaces


Small parks often have a charm of their own. And we are lucky to have lots of them in London. Most have some individual feature of interest. Some have remarkable activities embedded. This flat, 13 mile route, includes 12 small parks and also visits 3 larger parks, 2 of which are close to, but not in, Lambeth. A mixture of paths, quiet streets and some short stretches of busy street.


Ride will start (10am) and finish (1pm) at Waterloo Station. Meet at 10am at the bottom of the steps outside and under the Waterloo Station Victory Arch that is 50 yards up on the right from where York Road meets Cab Rd/Mepham St. First visit some small parks close to the river, Archbishop?s Park, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, Vauxhall Park. Then divert via Nine Elms Station to the Sky Pool and the U.S. Embassy and on through the Power Station developments to Battersea Park. Across Stockwell via Larkhall Park and on to Wyck Gardens, Brixton, home of the Ebony Horse Club, a Community Riding Centre. Heading back traverse Elam Open space, Myatts Fields, Eythorne Park and Kennington Park. Small diversion to the Beefeater Gin Distillery (sadly no time for a tour) and the Cinema Museum and its neighbour the house in a water tower. Briefly into Southwark for Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, home of the Imperial War Museum, and finally to Waterloo Millenium Green. Coffee break, probably in Myatts Fields. Probable route showing all the parks at



Canada Water to St James Park.


Our sightseeing ride, led by Tour Guide Simon K! Start time 10am. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water station, SE16 7AR. You can also join the ride at London Bridge; be at the Southwark Gateway Needle, south east side of bridge, at 10.20. Easy, 10 mile, 2.5 hour, flat ride from Canada Water. Route goes across London Bridge and passes Parliament Square, St James Park, Buckingham Palace and starts back across Westminster Bridge. Outward using much of Cycleway 3 along the Embankment. Return keeping to the south side of the river. Along Lower Marsh, The Cut, then mostly Cycleway14 - Union Street, Leathermarket St, Tanner St, Dockhead, ending with Thames path route back to CW. Although we are on some busy roads, mostly have a cycle lane or bus lane. Coffee stop in Dockhead.

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
