Overview

A beautiful walk within South East London that makes you feel like you're in the countryside. We'll pass the ruins of Lesnes Abbey, walk through ancient woodland, and pass a surprising folly. We'll stay away from the busy roads and towns as much as possible, taking the opportunity to take in the beauty South East London has to offer. 

Toilets and a basic cafe should be available, but feel free to bring your own lunch. 

There are regular drop out options with London Buses and local rail stations along the route. 

There is a pub at the end.
