At Brenchley Gardens junction with Forest Hill Road again. Bob Eva again too. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters the first time and even the second time. It’s only the third one that includes a fine. So therefore teams have to go to the same place again (and again). Enough to catch the same […]
Burgess Park is 140 acres of seriously nice. It's a young park, built since the War by planners who believed that recreation and green space were essential parts of life. Quietway 7 runs across from Benhill St in Camberwell to Portland St. The tricky bit has been crossing Albany Road to get to Portland but traffic […]
This one is on Barry Road at its junction with Upland Road. Bob Eva is the volunteer. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters from TfL the first time and even the second time.

A fifth Saturday, so an extra + ride. New start location, Southwark Needle on corner of London Bridge and Duke St Hill (SE1 2SX). Allows us to ride farther north of the river. There are toilets on London Bridge Station nearby, and of course you can take the train to/from the start. All those nice […]
Our volunteers will be out with PCSO Kevin Phillips on Half Moon Lane pointing their speed guns at speeding drivers. To join them mail kevin.j.p.hillips@met.pnn.police.uk. Community-spirited and fun
Our Man From the Met, Kevin Phillips, will be taking down the details while a Southwark Cyclist volunteer holds the speed gun. They will be on Dog Kennel Hill near its junction with Quorn Road. Nicely placed to catch those drivers speeding down the hill to jump the lights before the bridge.
