you can park on the road by the meet point as it's just a residential road, there's lamppost's about for chaining up a bike but tbh it's a bit dark & deserted up by the heath at that time and we don't really stay in one place the whole time so unless it's a hack bike I'd personally not risk it.
you won't need a kit bag though, I took a water bottle the first few weeks but ended up not bothering in the end as no one else did, hydrate before you go and you'll be fine. don't wear too many layers either I made that mistake a few times and soon found it's really fucking annoying running intervals carrying a jacket.
I run with my house keys (separated from my big keyring) and a five/ten pound note just in case I want to buy something to drink/eat from the shop on my way back.
no one drinks after the tuesday runs but we do a monthly 5k handicap on a friday on the heath which is followed up by a trip to the spanish galleon down in greenwich town centre (the landlord is a triton)
