Tips

Laura Kennington

Cycling

Ditches Lane, in the Farthing Downs, is a steady climb that rewards you with views of London. It also makes for a serene snack break with plenty of trees providing shade if you need it. Although Farthing Downs is in the London Borough of Croydon, it feels miles away from the hustle of the capital!

Cycling

Going up the hill towards London, once you get to the top, your field of vision suddenly opens up and right in front of you, quite far away, but clearly visible, the London skyline appears. The silhouettes of London skyscrapers can be recognized. For those who are cycling towards London from Paris along avenue vert this is a good time.
