Heather's Lesnes Abbey & Crossness Pumping Station walk

This is a 6.5 mile walk along the Green Chain walk and the Thames. We will visit Lesnes Abbey (cafe, toilets, ruins) and end at Crossness Pumping Station (cafe, toilets, building visit). We will then visit Crossness on their Open Day for approx. 2 hours. We will have a drink stop during the walk & have lunch at Crossness - basic cafe for drinks and cake, not lunch, BYO. The final additional 2 miles back to Abbey Wood station can be walked or take the Routemaster bus from Crossness. If you don’t want to visit Crossness, you will have to make your own way (unguided) back to Abbey Wood station.

It is highly recommend pre-booking tickets or buying membership in advance. This will jump the queue and guarantee entry.

Entry for the afternoon of the open day is £20.37 (without Gift Aid) payable on the day (if available) or bookable in advance through this link       https://crossness.visihost.co.uk/#eventcalendar_1|778

If it says Tickets Unavailable, and you don't want to buy a 1 year membership, please email me at heather.staffurth@gmail.com and I will send your name to Crossness and they will hold a ticket on the door for you to pay on arrival. 

However, you could instead become a member. Benefits of membership are on the link below. £20pa age up to 64, £15pa age 65+. Includes free tea and biscuit.   https://crossness.org.uk/membership-crossness-engines-trust/

After our visit we will meet at approx 4pm when they close and return to Abbey Wood station together on the Routemaster bus or walking. You can make you own way home independently at any time.
