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.

03 Dec 2022A route past some lovely villas in Streatham. Through Biggin Wood and follwing the Capital Ring to the station.

08 Jun 2022Good route, but why not take the diagonal path through Norbury Park instead of along the road (Norbury Ave)?
In the Spring months, the diagonal path at Norbury is flanked by daffodils on both sides, an added bonus.
When you get to the Crystal Palace end, Stambourne Woodland Walk is worth exploring (cross the main road at the top of Westow Park, it's between two of the white gate posts on the eastern side of the road). It can be quite muddy underfoot in winter and early spring.

09 May 2021A good route but does involve some quite steep climbs and descents - though there are some good views to compensate. Being suburban it does involve a fair amount of street walking , but generally quiet and ranging from Victorian to early 20th century, interspersed with parks. You also pass through Biggin Wood, a small remnant of the Great North Wood originally covering much of what is now South East London which gave Norwood its name.
