Bike your way IN to history!

Ever wondered about the names of Calais Road, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill or Delft Way? Did you know that Camberwell had a thriving German population in the 19th century, supporting bakeries, a German church and visiting composers? Or that a community of French Huguenot refugees settled here? Have you spotted the Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Camberwell New Road? Ever bought Cypriot pastries in SE5 or French chocolate in SE15? This free guided cycle ride will uncover the European history of Camberwell and Peckham. The ride is led by Eleanor Margolies, author of ‘Green Camberwell’. All welcome, including accompanied children. We will mainly be on quiet roads and will travel at a gentle pace, with stops for sightseeing and appropriate refreshments. Booking The ride is completely free but it would help us to plan if you book. Please email [email protected] to book or with any questions.
