Last chance to ride the Greenway until 2029!

Last chance to ride the Greenway until 2029! In October Thames Water will close half of the Greenway for at least 3 years so lets ride it.

This ride will take us from Canada Water to Greenwich Peninsula and the Silvertown Tunnel cycle shuttle bus. That takes 8 rigid bikes and 2 folding bikes and is a 5 times an hour service. Once at the royal docks we will ride as much as possible beside the docks, perhaps seeing a takeoff or landing at City Airport opposite, and stop for refreshments at the stylish Well Bean (tables inside and out; bike parking feet away). Then we head for the Greenway. We’ll ride all of that apart from the 1000 foot section being worked on now. At the other end is Victoria Park which we cross for London Fields and then Canonbury to ride the amazing water garden of New River Walk. We can have another refreshment stop en route at Bread and Butter in Haggerston if we like (tables inside and out; bike parking feet away). Finally we will ride through the Borough of Finsbury and the City to the C3 at Tower Hill, finishing at Shadwell Overground Station.

We will catch the 10:18 at West Croydon station. This arrives at Canada Water at 10:47. The first section to the shuttle bus is 5.25 miles. The second section north of the river is 18 miles making the ride 23.25 miles long.

Meet at West Croydon station at 10:10 for the 10:18 Windrush Line to Highbury and Islington from platform 1. If you are joining at Canada Water meet us near the station entrance at 10:50.

Please bring a spare inner tube.
