Evening Walk - Wimbledon Common - including the Wimbledon Park fireworks seen from a distance

Length: up to 10.0 km 
Ascent/Descent: 80m 
Net Walking Time: up to 2 hours
 
Take the 18.09 Guildford service from Waterloo (calls Vauxhall & Clapham J), arrives Wimbledon 18.25. W’don is also served by the District Line. Fast Return trains are frequent.
 
An A road (can be avoided by a slightly longer route along residential streets) at start and finish and in-between: Wimbledon Common and Putney Vale. Ticketed Fireworks are taking place from 18.45 in Wimbledon Park, which is about 1.5 km east of the Common (see all necessary info here). It may make sense to cut out the first 15 minutes of walking by taking a bus to the open spaces of the Common to increase our chances of seeing the fireworks and then improvise the route to get back to civilisation in good time.
 
Refreshments: Plenty of options.
