Cyclists in Southwark - Ride to Rainham Hall

Rainham Hall is now open following a £2.5 million conservation project. This charming house is one of the country’s finest examples of an early 18th century merchant’s home. With engaging installations and a year-round programme of exhibitions and events, there is something for all ages. Rainham Hall has been home to a richly diverse cast of characters. We’ve drawn inspiration from their lives to tell some great stories, starting with Captain John Harle, who built the Hall. The hall is nestled in the heart of Rainham village on the far eastern fringes of London and is surrounded by a contrasting landscape of big skies, wild marshland and thriving industry. We meet for this ride at the View Tube and then cycle along the Greenway to Beckton and then on to Dagenham and Rainham. We will stop for coffee/refreshment at Rainham Hall. We then cycle along the Ingrebourne Way and then come back to Stratford via the Harrow Lodge Park, the Chase nature reserve, Easbrookend Country Park and Wanstead Park.
