Southwark Park Life

Join this wonderful mid week morning 10-mile route through leafy Southwark, taking in the best the Borough has to offer. We meet at Dulwich Park Café, where refreshments may be taken prior to the ride and upon conclusion when we arrive back at the same location. Secure cycle parking and toilets available but please bring along a good lock. Heading out towards Dulwich Plough and then onwards through Peckham Rye Park, Goose Green and then passing Alleyns School before dropping down towards Dulwich Village. A very gentle climb before we descend into Brockwell Park. Passing the Lido and café/toilets if required. We pass the historic Herne Hill velodrome (Venue used during the 1948 Olympics) on the return journey and willing to visit if anyone wishes.

Although the route attempts to keep to parks and open spaces these are inevitably connected by roads which are kept to a minimum utilising quieter roadways where possible. If you're new to cycling, getting over an injury or been off the bike for a while then this may help you reacquaint yourself with the delights of cycling.

Helmets compulsory. Please bring puncture repairing equipment, suitable clothing and try and ensure your bike is mechanically sound. This ride passes three cycle shops, including Evans Cycles should the need arise for purchases or mechanical assistance.
