I'm always on the lookout for quiet local 10k routes. Here are some of mine


* through Dulwich Village, up College Lane to Crystal Palace mast then along Sydenham Hill, Horniman Nature Trail, Dawson's Hill (optional extra leg up One Tree Hill)


* Up Lordship Lane / Mount Adon to Dawson's Hill then along Woodvale / Westwood Park then One Tree Hill, back along the Rye then through Choumert Road to top of Dog Kennel Hill and back down Greendale


* through Dulwich Park, Gallery Rd and Belair to West Dulwich, Rossendale Road, Brockwell Park, Ruskin Park, Greendale

Bellenden Rd, Fenwick Rd, round top edge of Peckham Rye, Wood Vale, Court Lane, Dulwich Village, Red Post Hill, Denmark Hill, Dog Kennel Hill and back... used to be my 10K route. It's all pretty hilly round here. After running a 10K round these parts, running on a flat course makes you feel like Mo Farah.

This is s great thread - thanks to those posting their routes.


Here's our 4 parks 12k (7.4 mile although the app says 6.4. We don't believe it!) loop that 2 of us do every week and which takes us about 50-55 mins - little heavy traffic, green spaces, funny incidents to spot so lots to laugh about - even as we as we stagger up Greendale.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
