If you take some bread, the deer will eat from your hand ... |

My brain saw "New Malden" and got stuck dreaming of Korean food for 20 minutes... |

Nice to know there are still 'rural' bits even in a metropolis like London. Long may it, & your descriptions, continue. Thanks, DG. |

Great walk and excellent photo to capture that deer on camera. That is truly amazing to still see deer in London. |

I agree with Bronchitikat here. It's reassuring to think a metropolis like London can still maintain large chunks of countryside within it. |

And it forms a natural frontier between high poll tax Richmond & low poll tax Wandsworth for much of the way, and to a lesser extent forms boundaries of Sutton, Kingston and Merton boroughs. Barnes junction was the site of a serious rail crash in 1955. The route is also handy for viewing -both just off-route- the Marc Bolan tree and the amazing mausoleum of Sir Richard Burton, hidden behind the Catholic Church in Mortlake. |

On its way from Worcester Park-ish to New Malden, Beverley Brook runs through Motspur Park, where I spent the first 16 years of my life. I remember it as a little stream, perfect for kids mucking about. I dropped my brand new copy of Alice in Wonderland in it, and to avoid trouble at home I gave the book to my friend to take home and dry out. I also have a childhood memory of being shown an old map when the area was all farmland, with a geographical feature called Mott's Spur. |
