Walk Information

This is a 2 miles walk around Lloyd Park with moderate inclines and no stiles. The path through the wood can get muddy but is still easily navigable. Suitable for buggies. Although between Croydon and New Addington, urbanisation has largely passed this particular area by.

Venue Details

The walk will start from the Coombe Lodge Car Park at 11.00am. The bar is open at 10.30am for anyone wanting pre walk refreshments including London Pride and mulled wine.. This is a Beefeater venue but the building dates back to 1760. It has a large restaurant and a light and airy Conservatory Bar. Tables can be booked for meals in the restaurant and food is also available in the bar. However, if you want to have a sit-down lunch after the walk, then for ease and comfort you are recommended to book into the restaurant section by ringing the Coombe Lodge direct on 0208 686 2030 and booking a table for 1.00pm. There's a good value three course special menu available for £15.95 a head with a wide choice of dishes for each course. Or you can eat off the standard menu and choose the course or courses you want. The restaurant's already filling up fast for Sunday 28th December, so don't delay booking.
