We are the West London Ramblers, mainly covering Ealing and Hounslow, but open to all. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We head East out of Merstham Station and negotiate the M25 and M23 before climbing to the Pilgrims Way with excellent views. The path continues with a fair bit of ups and downs, some of it on dirt roads but also through some woods. More viewpoints await and we also pass a vineyard and a quarry. Lunch will have to be a picnic with some bushes for a comfort stop as there are no cafes or pubs. We briefly join the Vanguard Way before descending into Oxted via the scenic route. If we make good time there is a tearoom at Oxted station which is open until 4pm.
Southern trains run mostly from Victoria. The Victoria 9:38 train (Clapham Junction 9:45) gets to Merstham at 10:11.
For anyone with a Freedom Pass/Oyster 60 card: a single from boundary zone 6 to Merstham and a single from Oxted to boundary zone 6. For anyone under 60: return from Victoria to Merstham and a single from Oxted to East Croydon (East Croydon is common to both routes).
Return trains are half hourly.
There are toilets at Merstham and Oxted stations.
