Distance: 2.6 miles / 4.2 kilometres The first section of London’s Green Chain Walk sets off from Thamesmead, skirting alongside the Crossway Lake canal in parts before popping over the Eastern Way to continue along Southmere. It finishes at the ruins of the 12th century Lesnes Abbey in Abbey Wood – built to assuage the founder’s guilt in participa...
Distance: 3.4 miles / 5.5 kilometres Weirdly, the second section of the walk does not begin where the first section left off, so if you’re walking the route consecutively, you’re going to have to do a bit of backtracking. It’s worth it though, as the start of section two by the Thames Estuary is a rather beautiful view – one that helps you understa...
Distance: 2.9 miles / 4.7 kilometres Get ready to tackle the greenest section of the walk so far. It picks up where section two ended in Bostall Woods – which used to be famed for its dense Scots Pine before a beetle infestation ravaged them in the 1930s. The Scots Pines might not be back in their full element, but the woods have recovered their ch...
Distance: 3.6 miles / 5.8 kilometres Whoever created this walk sure made some strange decisions – one being splitting section four into two completely different parts. You can do either or you can do both – they don’t start or finish in the same place so… yeah. Away from the bizarreness of the route, section 4A of the Green Chain Walk dips into a n...
Distance: 1.7 miles / 2.7 kilometres Section Four B is (disregarding the challenge of getting between them) short enough that you can easily do it alongside Four A. Most of the locations should be familiar by now: Shooters Hill and Oxleas Woods – though with the addition of Shrewsbury Park – the former site of a (now-destroyed) 18th-century manor h...
Distance: 3.9 miles / 6.3 kilometres You start this section of the Green Chain Walk at theThames Barrierand what a sight. The world’s largest moveable flood barrier protects London from the surge waves that used to cause dangerous flooding further upstream. From the barrier, you wend your way south, through Maryon Park, Charlton Common, Eltham Comm...
Distance: 3.7 miles / 6 kilometres Where you could (justifiably) level mild accusations of meandering at some of the previous sections in this walk, section six strides confidently south, from the now familiar sights of Oxlea Meadows down to Mottingham. In its path, it takes you past one of South London’s hidden gems:Eltham Palace. The former royal...
Distance: 4.3 miles / 6.9 kilometres Re-e-wind. We’re back to Shepherdleas Woods but this time we’re taking a different course… towards Avery Hill Park, which boasts a fine example of a Victorian Winter Garden (recently restored). Following the route also takes you to Tarn Bird Sanctuary – a 1930s landscaped garden and lake with an interesting arra...
Distance: 4.6 miles / 7 kilometres or 6.3 miles / 10.2 kilometres via the Chinbrook link Section eight is one of the longest sections on the walk, whichever of the two possible routes you decide to take. Setting off from Mottingham, you follow its course through wildlife-filled spaces and protected reserves that look particularly stunning in Autumn...
Distance: 4.5 miles /7.2 kilometres Distance: 4.5 miles /7.2 kilometres First, a warning: section nine is another one curiously split into two non-connecting sub-sections. Once again, choose either or do both if you’re feeling chipper. Nine B is much shorter than A. Back to A, you start in Mottingham, just south of Eltham and plod your way through ...
