2 comments:
The return trains constitute the Thameslink service to Bedford, calling at Elephant and Castle, Blackfriars, Farringdon and Kings Cross/St Pancras, so you don't need to change at Bromley South if any of these stations suit you better than Victoria.
Another popular pub in Shoreham is the Crown (01959 522903) at the northern end of the village.

Two walkers got the designated train and somehow missed an earlier walker. However we all caught up later and walked into the lunch spot together. Heavy rain did not detract from enjoyment of the walk, lovely autumnal tree colours, hills etc.
One walker then took a short cut and two + dog carried on on route getting to Eynsford very early. Said dog stank out train carriage on journey back having rolled in something pungent !! lovely day despite the wet.
