The easiest route to follow from Tooting is via the A217 (Garratt Lane) to Wandsworth and then along the A205 but this can be a little daunting if the traffic is heavy. The route I use is a little more hilly but much quieter. Take Wimbledon Road off Garratt Lane. It joins Plough Lane and you follow that into Gap Road past the cemetery and up the hill to the end of Leopold Road. Turn left into Arthur Road a follow it into St Mary's Road, turn right at the roundabout and go down the hill past the All England Tennis Club on Church Road. Go left at the roundabout up Victoria Drive, left into Augustus Road, right into Inner Park Road and right onto the A219 (Wimbledon Parkside) to Tibbets Corner. That is the only heavy traffic area but there is a bike path running under it. I then follow the road down to the lights and turn left onto Putney Heath but you can get there via the bike path and Telegraph Road. Putney Heath runs down into Medfield Street and you turn right onto Roehampton Lane. Take the first left onto Danebury Avenue and it will pop you out at Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate. Hi Max

Take Wimbledon Road off Garratt Lane. It joins Plough Lane and you follow that into Gap Road past the cemetery and up the hill to the end of Leopold Road. Turn left into Arthur Road a follow it into St Mary’s Road, turn right at the roundabout and go down the hill past the All England Tennis Club on Church Road. Go left at the roundabout up Victoria Drive, left into Augustus Road, right into Inner Park Road and right onto the A219 (Wimbledon Parkside) to Tibbets Corner.

Mainly because I'd like to shape up a little. Richmond Park looks like a great place to burn some calories but I'm not sure how easy it is to cycle there from Tooting?? I wondered if you can tell me more details of the route you take to Richmond - I'm guessing my best route would be via Wimbledon common although I've heard cycling is very restricted on Wimbledon common? Is there somewhere I can get easy cycle routes of South London - can't find any on the net:-( Any help welcome:-) Max Hi, I live in Tooting and I’m looking into getting myself a bike.
