Brockwell Park

This is another ride to South East London, with a return on public transport from Farringdon (Elizabeth or Metropolitan Line services).

From Ealing we ride down through Chiswick, Hammersmith, and Fulham, for a brief pause in Bishop’s Park. Riding on, we cross the river at Wandsworth Bridge and make our way to Clapham Common. After a short diversion to view the Brixton Windmill, we reach Brockwell Park, where we can admire the views back to the City and have lunch in the café https://www.theglassmakerscafe.co.uk/ .

After lunch, we have only 11km/7 miles to ride through Camberwell to Burgess Park, then through Walworth to cross back over the river on Blackfriars Bridge and ride up to Farringdon for train services home. If we have insufficient time or energy, or the weather is inclement, we could return from Herne Hill station, which is right outside Brockwell Park, and offers ThamesLink services to Farringdon or St Pancras.

Ride across London to Brockwell Park, return to Farringdon.

Segregated cycle tracks, shared paths through parks, quieter roads where possible, some short stretches on busier roads.

Brief pause in Bishop's Gardens, Fulham and on Clapham Common. Lunch stop in Brockwell Park.

Money/card for cafe and for travel fare for return journey. Water & snacks. Lock for your bike.

First-timers welcome!
