This ride starts at 9.30am from Peckham Square and turns at Severndroog Castle (see pic) on top of Shooters Hill. It ends back in Peckham at 1pm. That's an earlier start and a later finish than usual and Severndroog Castle is 20m higher than the top of Sydenham Hill which was the previous summit. A new […]

Slight change to original plan. Will miss Clapham Common, instead going through Clapham itself and on to the new Battersea Power Station developments before returning. Route at https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4850794.html. As far as possible on paths and quiet streets, but likely to be some short busy stretches and a few busy junctions. Several short stops at interesting […]

Free workshop open to all. It's jointly funded by Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association and run by Bruno, known to all who have used our Dr Bikes. The idea is to fix bikes while showing how to do it and encouraging people to try for themselves. It's not a course. What gets […]

Community Speedwatch will be at or near the junction of Croxted Road and the South Circular. Southwark Cyclists will be represented by Bob Eva. Stop and say hello, have a chat and […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture above). It’s much more respectable than it looks. Coming from Burgess Park, cross Camberwell New Road and proceed in an westerly direction along Urlwin Street, under the railway bridges, left at the end and straight on into the cul-de-sac in front of you. Very […]
