Kweens & Kings Bike Ride Do South London Parks

We are doing a South London Parks A 21 mile Loop. I would described this ride as a steady rather than challenging ride, as there are no hills. But considering the length in distance, it is described as a challenging ride. We will take breaks and I will be guided by the group.


This will be a South London loop and will start in Catford, outside Wickes, where we will go along the Waterlink towards Beckenham Place Park and on to Cator Park. We will then head out South Norwood Country Park, before heading for Tooting Commons. We will take a break between Tooting Commons and Clapham Common. Head for Brockwell Park and Gardens, Peckham Rye Park, Ladywell Fields and end the ride at Catford.

We are doing a South London Parks A 21 mile Loop, taking in several parks.

Apart from the parks and paths, we will mainly be on tarmac roads and/or cycle lanes.

We will take a break between Tooting Commons and Clapham Common.

Who are we: We ride as a group of people, mainly from a African and African Caribbean background and as cyclists we ride together regularly, often with a structured schedule and we have varying levels of abilities. We usually aim to start when the weather is improving March/April, with easier local rides to start the year off, and we increase the distance and go further afield, until November or December (if we are really lucky), and we have been riding together since November 2020. Who is the ride for: The ride is for adults only and we have a mixed ability within the group. We welcome new riders. On some of our rides, there is likely to be at least one hill, but we try to avoid them where possible. We will wait, if you can't make it all the way to the top without stopping and we are a supportive group. What should you bring: Your bike and helmet, appropriate attire for riding and weather conditions, and a smile. We ride as a group, but please cycle carefully, and abide by the rules of the road. Your safety will be at your own discretion. Please come prepared with inflatable tyre and/or pump. Light fruits/snacks and water according to your preference. A travel card/cash.

We especially welcome newbies!
