Great route out of London from Greenwich Park.

What To Expect:

Quick way out of London through Blackheath, Lee and towards Mottingham. Generally good quality, smooth tarmac and not huge amounts of traffic, especially early in the morning.

Great views over the heath to start. Quick downhill segment on Lee Road (North > South) before gentle uphill on Burnt Ash Road (North > South). Another quick downhill (North > South) on Winn Road before a great segment on Mottingham Lane that feels almost as if you are already out in the country.
