NOTE. You must register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.


On Oct 29th we will have 2 rides, both approx. 3 hours in duration both heading into north London. 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. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


Last week a rider punctured on both our rides. Very unusual. Please carry a spare inner tube or one of those kits for doing an instant repair (such as this one, https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/universal-puncture-repair-spray-nozzle/_/R-p-312454?mc=8573560).


Ride details


Peckham to Westminster and Camden Globes. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/world-reimagined-cycle-ride-westminster-and-camden-globes-tickets-449480928557 >


Philippa leading. More of the “World Reimagined” globes. Over the last few weeks we have ridden to the Globes in the City and in Lambeth and Southwark. Now another set of London Globes in Westminster and Camden. Start/finish Peckham Square, stat 10am. Not a long ride, leaving plenty time for reading the information at each globe, estimate back at Peckham about 1pm. Route will be over Waterloo Bridge, Covent Garden, Kings Cross (Coal Drops yard etc) and coffee stop in Camden. Official route for these globes is at https://jod.theworldreimagined.org/trails/london/london:-camden---westminster/3 but note we are not going to get to them all.


London Bridge to Parliament Hill < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-parliament-hill-fields-cycle-ride-tickets-449475191397 >


Bruce leading. 13 mile loop with time to compare the views from Parliament Hill and Primrose Hill. 10.00 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Southwark Gateway Needle, south east side of London Bridge, close to the station. Outward route will pass St Pauls, pause at Kings Cross (Granary Square), through atmospheric St Pancras Cemetery, then roads (some busy) to Parliament Hill Fields. Will stop at the Café for a break. Energetic riders can walk up to the viewpoint – there will be time for that. Return route will pass the Roundhouse then ascend Primrose Hill. From there go through Regents Park, then across Bloomsbury, past UCL and the British Museum.


Finally join the Cycleway as far as the Monument before crossing back over London Bridge. A mostly quiet route except for about a mile along Kentish Town Road and Highgate Road. Report on previous ride at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/ride-reports-jan-22nd-2022/ . Route at



These rides are part of the Healthy Riders group, organised by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/. Like everything else we do, our activities are all free. We co-operate with other London Cycling Campaign groups like Greenwich Cyclists. The LCC details are here: https://lcc.org.uk/.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
