Starting point

SE2 0QJ

Abbey Good Coffee cafe in Lesnes Abbey, off New Road. Abbey Wood SE2 0QJ. Monks Close, is the nearest point to gate leading to Abbey grounds.

There is no parking at the Abbey but lots of parking in New Road or Abbey Road.

Abbey Wood rail station is close by.

This is a mostly traffic free route, from the cafe we will join the Thames path all the way to Woolwich where using the ferry or foot tunnel to cross the Thames. Passing City airport & Excel using quite roads/paths to the cafe at Trinity Buoy Wharf. We return the same way. Because we are on shared paths we can't go very fast & must be mindful of other users. Flat with a few ups on the way back into the Abbey.

Suitable for any bike but your carbon road bike might be better staying at home.

Dress for the weather, bring a spare inner tube to fit your bike, locks & lights if you have them, water, money for refreshments. You can bring your only flask & cake.

We should be back before 2pm but I can't be certain on that due to the nature of cycling anything can happen.

There are toilets at the starting point.
