Length: 10.7 miles, 17km. 4 out of 10.
Note that today is open to trains being cancelled & you should check before travel, but these are confirmed in the Journey Planner. Also, I'm away for the weekend, so may not be able to make any updates. I'm also aware that it was posted in August, but needs must... Also apologies to Sean for any clash with Sunday.
Trains: Get the 1000 Thameslink Three Bridges train from London Bridge, (East Croydon 1016) arriving 1029. Return trains from Tattenham Corner are xx01 & xx31, with the last train at 18.01.
Lunch: "The suggested lunch pub (after 8 km from Merstham) is The Sportsman (01737-224950) in Mogador. On the edge of Banstead Heath, it has a large beer garden and serves a good selection of freshly-cooked food, including burgers and pizzas."
Tea: Probably not a day to hang around, but you could grab a takeaway at the Downs Lunch Box kiosk (open daily), or relax in the large Tattenham Corner Beefeater (you can just have drinks in the bar), with its fine views over the racecourse. There are a few more places in the parade of shops beyond the station, such as the Silver Spoon Diner open to 5pm.
