Herne Hill Velodrome entrance, 104 Burbage Road, SE24 9HE
We begin at the Burbage Road entrance of the Herne Hill Velodrome, the oldest extant cycle track in the UK. It was used for the 1948 Olympics, and today is still a hive of activity. We shall pass a sports field that has its own war memorial, a grand viaduct, a house that has had three distinguished residents but has only two plaques, and a hidden folly. We shall finish at the Grafton Ballroom, and be home in time for Strictly Come Dancing.
