Believe it or not, Rotherhithe Street is claimed, at 1.5 miles, to be the longest street in London (e.g. see https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/rotherhithe-street). It is also quite an old street and passes several interesting places including Surrey Docks Farm, the Brunel Tunnel and the Mayflower Pub. Start time 10am, Simon S, leading. Start/finish Peckham Square (Peckham library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). Duration 2.5 hours. Route to and from Rotherhithe will be quiet streets or paths. Outward route wandering through Camberwell and Walworth to Cycleway 4. Return via Southwark Park where there will be a coffee stop.
These rides are part of a regular programme of Southwark Cyclists Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
