I want somewhere with a good cafe for breakfast after if possible please. I’ll put my vote in for Greenwich, although there are closer options for you. If you do head out our way note we are in Eltham’s Avery Hill Park and not Greenwich Park as the name may suggest Hilly Fields has a good cafe if I remember right.

If you were feeling flush (and unless things have changed, did it before the Covid pause) you could park in the car park there but not sure of charges any more. I used to work locally and run up and down the trail and pr course is really quick.

Bonus was a D for my alphabet, which is progressing very slowly. It's a very friendly event, and coffee afterwards has fabulous views.
