The Green Chain walk

Running through hundreds of parks and open spaces as part of a 64 kilometre (40 mile) network of signposted footpaths, the Green Chain walk offers some of the finest landscapes and views in south London.

In Royal Greenwich, the Green Chain begins at three points along the Thames, climbing up from the river through Lesnes Abbey and Woolwich Common. The three paths converge at Shooters Hill, and descend towards Eltham and over to Grove Park. The Green Chain Walk finishes at Crystal Palace Park.
