Route description
This is a mostly quiet route along residential roads and through two large parks. Sutcliffe Park does not get locked at night, but Mountsfield Park does, Lewisham Council website has the times. The section beside the A2 near Eltham station is on a separate walk way which is on the original level of the land, not directly adjacent to the multi-lane road. Break points Hither Green and Lee stations are on the route and it intersects with 10+ bus routes. The streets just outside Hither Green station are probably the best option for eating, a couple of cafés, a pub, restaurants/takeaways and food shops. Mountsfield Park and Sutcliffe Park both have cafés and there are other options where the route crosses bigger roads. A review of BlaElt one said that Edith Nesbitt Walk in Eltham felt unsafe. As a local I can understand that, probably wouldn't use it late at night on foot myself. Although there is already an alternative route, Catelt one, this also uses the same section.
