FREE Ride: Richmond to Woolwich - 32 Miles
Details
Ever wanted to visit the spiritual home of the Woolwich Building Society? Join us on this A FREE 32 mile ride from Richmond to Woolwich, taking lunch at the Friends Cafe in Woolwich before hopping on Thames Clipper service back to Waterloo. A real treat of a ride showing all aspects of the Thames from both land and from the river itself. We'll be passing all the great London sights on our return including Greenwich, Canary Wharf and Tower Bridge. This is a free ride and the cost of the Thames Clipper is £10.25 or £5 for concessions including Freedom Pass holders. If you wish to bypass the Clipper you can take the train back from Woolwich to Waterloo.
We meet at Richmond Park Gate at 9.30 and cycle along the Thames Path to Battersea Park where we stop for coffee. Then onwards via Bermondsey to Woolwich where we stop for lunch at Friends Cafe, which provides excellent quality food and coffee at very inexpensive prices. After lunch we cycle down to the Thames Clipper pier at Woolwich for an amazing river cruise back to Waterloo. We should finish the ride at around 4pm at Waterloo Station.
This is an excellent 32 mile Spring ride with plenty of interesting sights and pretty easy for everyone as it's all flat.
Tickets for the Thames Clipper service from Woolwich Pier to the London Eye can be purchased through the link below, we'll aim to get the 2.30pm Clipper. I would recommend buying your ticket before you go as we all need to get aboard the Thames Clipper promptly. The ferry won't wait unfortunately. If you miss the Clipper there's one every half hour or a train from Woolwich to Waterloo
