Thaabb two

Slow Way not verified yet. Verify Thaabb here.

This is a very green and off-road route for urban London. North Thamesmead was developed with pedestrian/cycle routes in mind and on this route the only road section is 700m of older streets just before Abbey Wood station, you don't even need to cross. The footpaths mostly follow small canals (whole area is reclaimed marshland) through a chain of small parks with Southmere Lake as the central point (where there is an arts centre/studios with a cafe). All the roads are crossed by footbridge or underpass. On the far side of Southmere Lake is the location for Clockwork Orange, but some of the brutalist architecture has been redeveloped, although the large towers remain.

Compared to ThaAbb 1 it's shorter, avoids the wide faster roads, and the northern section uses more green links and less paths between housing than ThaAbb 1 (second half is the same). ThaAbb 1 does use the waymarked Green Chain Walk, but I've found some of that signage ambiguous or hard to see
