Lordship Lane Estate Community Garden

For our group run night this week, we will be heading back to the Lordship Lane estate to improve the community garden and surrounding green spaces.

We will be helping weed, watering, cutting bushes back and possibly even planting.

New to GoodGym Southwark?

It can be daunting coming to your first group run but we are a nice welcoming bunch! All abilities welcome, whether you're a new runner or have been running for years.

Important Information

We meet at Old Spike Cafe in Peckham from 18:30 for a 18:45 start. You can leave bags in the cafe and use their toilets before we head out if you need to. If meeting at the task, be there for 19:15. The community garden can be found between Bew Court and Campbell Court on the Lordship Lane Estate - the What3Words location is here: https://w3w.co/retain.pines.bills

🌑 This task will be in the dark to please remember to bring a 🔦 headtorch if you have one 🌑

After a warm-up, we run together as a group. If there are loads of us, there will be a back marker to ensure no one is left behind. On this run, we will be running 3km to Lordship Lane Estate (aiming to get to the task in 20 minutes). We will spend 45-50 minutes doing the tasks Lizzie has for us then run 3km back to Peckham (back by 20:30 latest).

Hi Daryl, This is only my 2nd Grp Run and my first was over a year ago! I've got a nagging injury which means I haven't been able to train at all for the last year and can't run. Therefore, I will walk there from my house and meet at the location 7.00 - 7.15pm if that's OK?

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Old Spike Roastery, and Old Spike Roastery and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
