I'm reliant on public transport though. Staying in Barnehurst. I've already done Dartford, Bexley and Greenwich. Any suggestions for one that might not be too difficult to get to? I can get a train from Barnehurst or a bus on Erith road. The 79 is the only one I've used so far.

Alternatively you could wait 20 minutes at Lewisham and hop one stop to Ladywell for a 400m walk to Hilly Fields. Also trains to Lewisham 7:58, 8:08, 8:16 (arrives 8:37). The last one continues to Nunhead (arr. 8:43) but would be tight for time.
