FREE Alphabetical Adventure in Vauxhall and Waterloo - Sunday 20 July 2014

Join me on a sociable ride that zig-zags madly so we chance upon 26 and more historical and quirky places in alphabetical order.

We'll ride from Architecture to Blake

via the Canterbury Music Hall 

to the home of Drugs

 and beyond.

En-route we'll visit the true centre of London, see the grand entrance to the Necropolis (the railway for the dead) and spot astronauts in trees.

Accompanied by experienced cycling instructors the ride will cover a dozen or so miles within a very small area, mainly on quiet back streets.

To discover the full alphabet book a place on the FREE ride, meeting at 10am for a quick bike check before departing at 10.10am, to finish by 1.30pm. The ride starts on the segregated cycle track by Lassco, 30 Wandsworth Rd, SW8 2LG. Book this free ride through Cycle Confident, Lambeth Council's cycle training provider.
