Overview

We will meet outside Crystal Palace station at 10.30. 

This is a great varied walk encompassing a surprising amount of greenery given we spend most of the day in South London.  There are top notch food and drink stops and just in case the excitement is getting too much we also stride past Streatham Pumping Station, Tooting Bec lido (one of the largest in Europe - 100 yards long and 33 yards wide), and near the end Wandsworth Prison - which at various times has housed Oscar Wilde and Ronnie Biggs (until he escaped!).  We finish at Earlsfield for easy travel back to London Waterloo

Just be aware - it is a surprisingly hilly walk - we will take our time and have plenty of breaks - but you have been warned!

This is a no dogs walk
