We first visited Onion Garden ( https://www.theoniongarden.org/) last march (see report,https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2025/ride-reports-march-8th-2025/). If you were on that ride you will probably want to visit again. If you were not, then this is your chance to have a look at a little treasure hidden away between a rail line and tall buildings in deepest Victoria. Start 10am, Deal Porter Square (next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station). Gloria leading. Approx 10 mile loop. Outward via Cycleways 4 and 14 to Waterloo, then Westminster Bridge, Victoria St and back streets to the Garden. Return via Horseferry Rd, Lambeth Bridge, St Georges Circus, Cycleway 10, Bermondsey side streets and Southwark Park. Aim to be back around 1.30. Flat route, mostly cycleway or quiet streets but some busy stretches (e.g. Parliament Square, Lambeth Road). Everyone welcome

. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. How to cancel link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/help/en-gb/articles/575010/how-to-cancel-your-free-registration/. This ride is organised by Southwark Cyclists and is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
