I had this idea for a South London parks ride (only you don't actually ride in the parks). I think it's a fun route except the Old Kent Road bit (that's my commute so I'm incapable of doing something more creative).
Now that I think about it I might try and double the distance by adding Victoria, Regents and Hyde.
As it is you hit Clapham Common, Brockley, Dulwich, Peckham Rye, and the beautiful Burgess Park.
I did this yesterday and enjoyed it. Aside from the wind. Also, it didn't help that I threw my chain just after cresting Tulse Hill and spent an hour trying to jerk it loose in the cold...
