We offer walks in London and Home Counties, accessible by public transport.
We take the Thames Path East from Woolwich as far as Thamesmead, then the Green Chain to Lesnes Abbey for lunch. After lunch we climb up through Abbey Wood and Bostall Woods to Plumstead Common, then descend through Woolwich to Woolwich Station. A varied walk through a mix of landscapes - flat, easy walking in the morning, with Thames views and big skies; a substantial climb on rough paths through autumn woods in the afternoon, until we find ourselves high above the Thames on Plumstead Common. Pace will be moderate, with occasional stops to look at bits of history. Toilets are available at Woolwich Works near the start, then at Lesnes Abbey at lunchtime.
Lunch: Picnic at Lesnes Abbey, where there is a kiosk and toilets. Kiosk is usually very busy, so bring food.
Trains: Woolwich Elizabeth Line Station. Good connections to Elizabeth Line from other underground and rail services.
Outside Woolwich Elizabeth Line Station.
