London Loop section 4 of 24: West Wickham Common to Hamsey Green

This well wooded route has a fair amount of hills, rewarded by some splendid views.

At the end of Section 4 (Hamsey Green) you can take bus 403 to Sanderstead station and on into Croydon. You also have the option to continue with the walk leader for a further 3km to Kenley Station, stopping along the way for a well deserved drink.

Pushed for time?
Public transport options are fairly good if you need to bail out along the way.
