• Looks like Ponders End is the next best option

    Overground: New Cross Gate to Shoreditch High Street

    Head to Liverpool Street - 9:30am train to get to Ponders End for 10 and then a short pootle to Chingford.

    Will we die on the Lea Valley Road on the way there? Narrow, little overtaking space and lots of suburbanites...

  • I usually go past Ponders End on the way there. You can ride on the ( deserted ) pavement across the reservoirs and then it's just a case of going up Kings Head Hill and then negotiating the peds on Station Road.
