Meet your guide in the morning at his 100-year-old house, just a one-minute walk from Colliers Wood underground station in South London. You’ll be provided with a bicycle and helmet before embarking on a 12-mile journey that lasts around 4 hours. We’ll begin by admiring old cottages along a river once known as ‘Europe’s hardest working river’ due to the numerous waterwheels that operated here. We’ll stop at London’s only functioning waterwheel, now part of a local market, where you’ll learn about an important monastery that once included a massive church on this site. We’ll continue along winding paths to one of South London’s most beautiful parks, rich in history, where you’ll learn about the industries that made some local inhabitants incredibly wealthy. We’ll then follow the river to an ancient village that has become part of London but has retained its charm, featuring one of the United Kingdom’s tallest trees and ponds teeming with wildlife. We’ll stop at a fantastic 17th-century village pub before heading back.
