Streatham Common via Morden Hall

This is a longer ride, with a few challenging climbs.

From Ealing, we ride down to Kew Bridge and on to cross the river at Chiswick Bridge, then continue via Mortlake, to enter Richmond Park at the Sheen Gate. We ride across the Park, leaving at the Robin Hood Gate, and then heading towards New Malden. Turning eastwards, we have a brief pause at Morden Hall Park, before continuing via Mitcham, up to Streatham Common, for our café stop at the Rookery Café https://www.rootsandberries.co.uk/the-rookery-cafe . We will also have time to explore the lovely gardens here.

After lunch, we ride on through suburban roads via Brockwell Park and the Oval, crossing back over the river at Blackfriars Bridge, then up to Farringdon for train services home.

Ride across South London to Streatham Common, return by train from Farringdon.

Quieter roads where possible, some short stretches on busier roads.

Brief pause at Morden Hall Park. Cafe stop at Streatham Common Rookery.

Money/card for cafe stop and for return train journey.

First-timers welcome!
