View of the River Thames from Barnes Bridge

Highlight • River

Barnes Bridge is a railway bridge, relatively unusual in that it can also be crossed on foot (the other such London bridges being Hungerford Bridge and Golden Jubilee Bridges and Fulham Railway Bridge).

It has become something of a landmark thanks to the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, as it is suggested that whichever crew is ahead at this point will go on to win the race.

Kew Railway Bridge

Highlight • Monument

This historic railway bridge crosses the River Thames and links the areas of Kew and Strand-on-the-Green. It's a beautiful piece of history, originally constructed in 1869 to carry trains between South West London and Richmond.

Wimbledon Common — Dirt Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Are cycles permitted? I saw a map suggesting only a couple of trails were cyclist friendly and this was not on it? I would love to use it to get to the brook/path to Richmond Park.

Wimbledon Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Nice windmill on Wimbledon Common, possibly a womble too if you're lucky! Fun way out of Richmond Park via the Ham gate. Good place to spot the enormous houses that make up this area.

December 7, 2025,Foxes, Deer, Rain and me

Sunday ride. Looked like it would rain where I wanted to go, plus I had an extra thing to do in the morning, so I thought I might not ride at all. Maybe I could go on the road, but I didn’t really want to.
