Want to cycle up to town but worried about getting there safely? Come with us and use our “inside knowledge” (as one pleased rider called it). Our route includes two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the New Kent Road pavement bike lanes, the Elephant and Castle bypass and the lovely new segregation. No need to come anywhere near an HGV or a bus. Main hazards: dogs, small children, shopping trolleys and other cyclists.

We take riders on individually to Faringdon, Kings Cross, Mayfair and Westminster. Return rides by arrangement on the day.

We leave Nunhead Station at 8am, Peckham Rye station (from the bike stands behind McDonalds) at 8.10am and arrive at Blackfriars at 8.45. We are free and reliable (unlike the train) and, equally unlike the train, we will wait if we know you are coming. So to book your place, mail southwark@lcc.org.uk or text me 07842 640 207
