Calling all cyclists


Looking for some good routes from South London and in a loop for around 40 miles and taking in some scenery of sorts so a bit of Thames, maybe Greenwich and beyond.


Done bits of Regent Canal to death as well as going west along the Thames so heading eastish...


Finding all sorts of rubbish on Mapmyride etc but any routes that anyone would recommend?

you can follow the thames path quite a long way from greenwich. it's a bit industrial, and smelly in places, but traffic free and flat, and you see a different side of the city.


i'm helping to organise a charity ride that way: Great Expectations in a few weeks if you'd like to join us...

There isn't much of a path after the Thames Barrier but you can pick it up just after and carry on to the Woolwich Ferry which is free to cross. It's pretty industrial up that way, not terribly scenic and lots of scrap yards and recycling dumps block any access to the Thames (watch out for your tyres). If you want scenery best head away from the Thames at that point either into Esses or Kent. If I cycle that way I either head towards the enormous Dagenham plant and beyond or up towards Hackney and Victoria Park and then there are various routes back home to Dulwich.

    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
    • This drives me absolutely mad. Why is all the food they sell there so effing noisy? Popcorn, nuts, crisps. Why can't they just sell stuff like rolls and ice cream? Is it because those are harder to store and more perishable? It's so inconsiderate to other people, like having your mobile on loudspeaker on public transport.
    • This seems to be the end of the road for now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c36594lr29ko.amp
    • S24? I just googled Royal Mail complaints and it went straight to this page. If you phone Royal Mail you can also make a complaint, though it takes forever to go through all the options and then to speak to someone. It's probably a lot quicker to do it online. Not that you will actually get anywhere in this case. You are probably marginally better off contacting your MP, not that they will probably get anywhere either.
