| This is a lovely route that takes you from Deptford to Erith Pier. From Greenwich it goes mainly alongside the river. Some of the route is on dirt track and is unlit, (it also passes past belvedere sewage works), so it is not recommended for night riding! | |

| I decided to cycle this at night. Not fun, if not a little scary since you cycle through the industrial part of london. some of the path is dirt track, and muddy at that. Not a route I'm in a hurry to do again. maybe on a nice sunny day it would be better. | ||

| I'd agree with the previous comments about riding at night (I wouldn't do it and I'm a 16 stone ex prop forward). However, during the day its not too bad at all. Mainly on paved cycle path except for the unpaved section (tough on road tyres and, if after a heavy rain, it can get muddy and some of the puddles are deep). Just one short stretch on the road just past the Thames Barrier. You do go past the new sewage works as well as the old Victorian Crossness Pumping Station, which was built to pump Londons sewage further downstream. Not the prettiest of rides but interesting to see some old industry/piers etc as well as some newer sights. | ||

| Took my 7 and 5 year old on this route started at Woolwich and went as far as belvedere. Lovely flat route, lots of space on the paths. Yes, it absolutely stinks as you go past the sewage works, but its over before you know it. Went during the day and highly recommend it for traffic free cycling with kids. | ||
