Subway under South Kenton station. Cyclists have to walk their bikes here because it can be busy with people going to and from the platforms, but the barriers seem excessive.

Belmont trail bridge under Kenton Lane. Due to be upgraded as part of the proposed Stanmore to the Thames cycle route.

#44331, nearby

#44325, nearby

Gates of Canons Park, off Marsh Lane. The path could be upgraded to provide a cycle route.

#44324, nearby

Looking into Canons Park. The path could be upgraded to a high quality shared use path. We propose this as an alternative greenway route to the planned route through Stanmore Golf Course, which is private land and will require a lot more … [more]

#44323, nearby

Turning left into Marsh Lane to go to Canons Park. Traffic islands, lots of traffic, not really pleasant to cycle on. However there are wide verges and short sections of service road which could be used to build high quality segregated … [more]
