There can't be many London stations served by an unmade road, or many where you can park all day for free. On the route from City Thameslink to Sevenoaks, it has two trains an hour in each direction.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The Catford Loop was opened in 1892 and was the last major suburban line to be constructed in south-east London. This view looks up the line from the Crab Hill bridge adjacent to Ravensbourne station. Because of its location, the station always had a rural feel to it, enhanced to the north as the line passed through Beckenham Place Park.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Green Chain Walk and Capital Ring are two walking routes which link parks and green open spaces. The Green Chain Walk is within South East London while the Capital Ring forms a complete circle (as its name suggests) a few miles out from the centre of the city. The routes share some common sections, such as here in Beckenham Place Park. More information about these and other walking routes in Greater London can be found on Transport for London's website http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/walkfinder/

The path leads from Ravensbourne Railway Station (on Crab Hill) then it meets the Capital Ring (another long distance path) here. The Ring path leads straight on towards New Beckenham. It also leads right towards Downham.
