Croydon, Richmond Park and Thames Path, Battersea Park, Waterloo, Blackfriars

A 26 mile ride from Croydon through Richmond Park to the Thames Path, then downstream to Waterloo and ending at Blackfriars Station. We will take the Wandle Trail after Beddington Park and leave it from Morden Hall Park for cycle paths and side streets until we reach Richmond Park. Through that to Barnes where we stop to eat. Then on the Thames Path through Battersea Park and then through Waterloo to the end where we can catch a Thameslink back to Croydon.

Leaving from Queens Gardens CR0 1GY at 10am. Returning to East Croydon station not before 3pm, probably not after 3:30.

Expect 3 ½ hours cycling – much of the route is a bit slow (but scenic!). Wear your thick socks and gloves, bring a water bottle, spare inner tube. Bring a good lock as we lunch indoors. Have lights in case of low visibility conditions.
