Overview

Start from Avery Hill Park in Eltham, meet in front of the Winter Gardens, map EX162. To reach the car park, turn off Bexley Road through the large red brick archway opposite Leigh Stationers' Academy (formerly Crown Woods School). The free car park is on the left at the end of the road. In the morning we follow the Shuttle Riverway to Hall Place for lunch at the café. After lunch we follow the London Loop to Bexley, catch a train to New Eltham and follow the Green Chain back to Avery Hill. Mostly flat with a couple of slopes.
