Cycle Ride through Lambeth’s Small Open Spaces

Southwark Cyclists

Easy-paced cycle ride using mostly quiet streets and off-road paths. Suitable for all types of cyclist. Everyone welcome.

Waterloo Millennium Green

Small parks often have a charm of their own. And we are lucky to have lots of them in London. Most have some individual feature of interest. Some have remarkable activities embedded. This flat, easy-paced, 10 mile route includes 12 small parks and also visits 2 larger parks. A mixture of paths, quiet streets and some short stretches of busy street.Ride will start (10am) and finish (12.30pm) at Waterloo Millenium Green, across from The Old Vic. Meet up next to the Baylis St entrance. Please note this is not one of our usual start locations. Cannot resist starting the ride via the Graffiti Tunnel under Waterloo Station. Then start the ride proper by visiting some small parks close to the river, Archbishop’s Park, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, Vauxhall Park. Next, heading a bit inland, Larkhall Park and on to Wyck Gardens, Brixton, home of the <a href="https://www.ebonyhorseclub.org.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ebony Horse Club</a>, a Community Riding Centre. Heading back traverse Elam Open space, Myatts Fields, Eythorne Park and Kennington Park. On to Cleaver Square, then a small diversion to the <a href="https://www.beefeatergin.com/en-UK" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Beefeater Gin Distillery</a> (sadly no time for a tour), the Cinema Museum and its neighbour the house in a water tower. Briefly into Southwark for Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park (at the moment with unusual Agave plant in flower) and finally back to Waterloo Millenium Green. Coffee break, perhaps in Myatts Fields.
