The Green Chain Walk, South East London’s 52 mile footpath is within ED’s sphere.


New guidance to the network has just been published by the Ramblers jointly with TfL and a general overview showing its 15 sections is here…

It’s truly worth exploring this path. There’s splendid landscape and woodland as one goes further east and the further you go the better it gets!

Thank-you, hpsaucy, for replying. You and others on ED might wonder why there’s been so little mention from me about the Green Chain Walk in recent years. I used to post quite often!


In 2016 the lead Borough in the local authority consortium that managed the footpath, the Royal Borough of Greenwich, dropped out. There’s been no maintenance, management or promotion since.


TfL’s Walk London project offered guided walks on the network until May 2018 which I led.


TfL had financed most of the waymarking and together with the Ramblers they are attempting to revivify the network. The directions I’ve sent links to are a first stage.


Walk London’s closure was met with dismay and I was asked to continue with offering guided walks by hundreds of participants. The walk’s span London although they do still visit the Green Chain several times each year.

Hi there - yes I had!

I'm sorry to hear about all that upheaval but, having been on one of your excellent walks, am extremely glad you are still doing them. I'll be taking your advice and heading out east when I can.


Such a treasure the Green Chain. It sounds as though TfL and The Ramblers might be a good mix to manage/preserve it?

    • If you’ve got four quid spare, go and try one. Myself, I like the mozzarella and spinach, but there’s no accounting.
    • More of a Steak Bake kinda thing, then.
    • You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
    • Would happily take it off your hands! Preferably in Peckham. Thanks 🙏🏻
