Green Chain winter wanders

If you’re looking for  great ways to spend winter days then the beautiful open spaces of South East
London could be the perfect answer.

The Green Chain walks span the whole area so you can dip in or take a longer hike – whatever suits – and enjoy some fresh air and panoramic views, and walk off some of that Christmas Pud!

The Green Chain now has a “What’s-On” guide so that you can see at a glance what is happening on or
near your very own regional park- and it takes all the hassle out of planning what to do with the kids!

There are dozens of organised events, walks and talks – the vast majority of which are free.

The events listed below are just a very short selection of what’s on offer; for more information
about individual events just click on to the “What’s On” page of the web site www.greenchain.com, or sign-up tothe bi-monthly newsletter by emailing events@greenchain.com

Cllr Susan Wise, Lewisham Council’s Cabinet Member for Customer Services said:

“This is the perfect time of year to get out and about to explore the beauty of the surroundings and the
history of our area – all of which is so easily accessible through  the Green Chain Walk. Weekends provide an ideal opportunity for everyone to discover more about their local area.”
