Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.
This walk follows the missing section 12 of the Green Chain Walk from the Cutty Sark at Greenwich Riverside, through Greenwich Park, over Blackheath to Kidbrooke and on through Sutcliffe Park to Eltham Green to Eltham Palace, ending at Eltham Station.
The walk through Greenwich Park is steeply uphill, with an alternative slightly longer and slightly less steep option available.
There are various drop-out points along the walk for those who do not wish to walk the full 5.5 miles, including Kidbrooke Station at around the halfway point.
The majority of the walk is on tarmac paths through parks, with short sections of grass.
We may be joined by some local councillors etc at different points of the walk, as we are aiming to meet with people who can help us get this route signed - so the pace will be leisurely and may require stops to ensure we are at the right place at the right time.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
The starting point is by the Cutty Sark boat by the entrance to the foot tunnel. This is approx 3 minutes walk from Cutty Sark DLR Station
Eltham Station
