This was another dull drive-by and a long way from home so I needed another reason get out that way. Luckily there was a new parkrun at Sutcliffe that started in September 2021. I bagged Bexley as a very short diversion on the way.

The high point is in the grounds of the house in the corner of Langdon Shaw called Shalamar, on the corner of a small road called The Vista. This can also be visited on a small diversion from The London Loop between Foots Cray and Scadbury Park or a 2km walk from Sidcup Station.
