sad to hear about bike-muggings on the Greenway. was happy when I first moved to london to find it nearby, cycled on it most days for my first two years in the city. could be a bit bleak, but the thick bramble hedge was full of wildlife, and every few benches there would be pairs of east european guys drinking and looking morose. always felt pretty safe, good memories of blackberry picking in the sun and elderflower collecting in the evening.
maybe the access closure and building works have affected it, you can't get on at Manor Rd so there is a big secluded section. also, there is probably an unfortunate correlation whereby the more a place is used by cyclists, the more unscrupulous types think to go there and rob them...
