04 Jun 2023Several nice green spaces between various building sites at Peckham, Old Kent Road and Canada Water. It can be quiet between Surrey Canal Road and Oldfield Grove. There are no access issues.

18 Mar 2023I walked this on a drizzly morning, from Canada Water to Peckham.
Starting at Canada Water it takes a little detour to get to Southwark Park (photo #1), which is although longer, a good idea as "Lower Road" is unpleasant. After the park, it follows quite back streets to end up on a path alongside a railway with a great view of the South East London Combined Heat & Power plant (photo #3), where it then soon goes past a football ground. It's a short section which is then followed by a stroll through the Bridgehouse Meadows (photo #4). There is quite some building work happening in the area (photo #5), with some tricky walking due to blocked pavements. Easy to go around though. After crossing Old Kent Road the route follows through Brimmington Park, with some interesting graffiti (photo #6). Then there is some walking along residential streets, before passing the Peckham Peace Wall (photo #7) and ending up at the finish at Peckham Rye station.

22 Jul 2022I walked from Peckham Rye to Canada Water.
This is a series of busy streets, walkways and cycle paths joining three parks. A lovely walk with plenty to hold your attention or distract the eye; bustling highstreets, quiet roads, open fields; tarmac paths and lovely green spaces; markets and supermarkets. Places to pause or play. New and old architecture, some being built or re-built.
Brimmington Park has a working water fountain, although there are shops, pubs and cafes all along the route. Bridgehouse Meadows has a small moderate hill (9%) and views to Canary Warf.
Southwark Park has an art gallery (free) with a café and nearby playground.
Good for wheel chairs, although some pavements are narrow with cars parked on them, and some streets are packed with people. Lots of road crossing but most are light controlled or have zebras, most have dropped curbs.

10 Apr 2022Straight forward route involving foot paths, parks and quiet roads. There is one section that goes past an industrial estate and Millwall football stadium which may not be safe to walk at night because it feels quite isolated. Otherwise, no obvious problems.
