South East beers - Tuesdays @ The Roebuck, SE1 4YG

The park was once a crime hot-spot and around 2007/2008 there was a spate of attacks on cyclists/runners - mugged and assaulted at night.

I think crimes in the park and surrounding areas have dropped since the huge refurb and relaunch in 2012. I'd be interested to know by how much though.

Still a bit hit and miss with its lighting. I used to run around it with a whistle, my best mate and a rape alarm. Never when dark.

thanks, it was a one off idea anyways, I ended up just running on the way to cycle ps and on the way home instead (and set a new 10km pb).
