Find a route to suit you by ordering a London Cycle Guide - Greenways are marked with green lines.
Watch out for other people such as walkers and use a bell
Remember, Greenways are for pleasant pedalling rather than fast cycling. Watch out for other people such as walkers and use a bell. Read Sustrans' Greenways code of conduct.
