Next ride
Date: Saturday 10 June 2017
Time: 14:30 assembly, for 14:45 departure
Location: Grant Road
Start point
We will meet on Grant Road, just outside Clapham Junction railway station, in the pedestrian area next to The Church of the Nazarene. The nearest post code is SW11 2NU. Gather at 14:30 for 14:45 departure. Please behave responsibly as this is a residential neighbourhood.
The nearest exit from the station is via the underpass, near to platform 1. There are lifts from every platform to the overbridge, and from platform 1/2 to the underpass. So, if you don't want to carry your bike downstairs from a different platform, you can use 3 lifts:
- From your platform to the overbridge.
- From the overbridge to the end of platform 1.
- From the middle of platform 1 to the underpass.
After you go through the ticket barrier, turn left. There's a ramp behind the door, giving you step-free access to the road outside.
Feeder Ride
There is an optional feeder ride from Kew Bridge which will provide a long and scenic ride into town, criss crossing the Thames before joining with the Clapham Junction riders. 13:30 assembly, 13:45 departure. The assembly point will be at the North end of the bridge by the steps leading to the Strand on the Green, opposite the Strand Cafe. North end of Kew Bridge, W4 3NQ.
