Description

This route takes you along the banks of the Thames, with a quick detour through East Greenwich to avoid circumnavigating the Greenwich Peninsula. There are lovely views along the river and over three quarters of the route is pedestrian only.

It was originally uploaded as GreWoo Two by George Sunderland on 09 Jun 2021 but there was a technical problem and it was not visible on the Slow Ways maps. I have uploaded it again simply so that people can begin to walk and review it because it is a great route that I cycle often (although I haven't done an on-foot review yet).

At the same time I made three small diversions just to keep the route off the busier roads a little more. One of these is along Bowater Road just after the Thames Barrier. That route can apparently be locked, maybe at night. If it is closed just continue up the Thames Barrier Park, left along busy Woolwich Road until a big roundabout (MacDonalds), then left along Warspite Rd and straight on to the Thames. The extra distance is about 1/3 of a mile or 600m.

There are plenty of places to eat along the way, but there is a long gap between the restaurants outside the cinema (just after the A102 footbridge) and the cafe at the Thames Barrier Information Centre

Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
