| | West Wickham to Hamsey Green - Day 4 - London Loop - Long-Distance Walks with Mark Moxon |
 | | This isn't meant to belittle Croydon, but even its biggest fans don't associate the place with sweeping vistas and the rural idyll, but within a stone's throw of the urban business centre of Croydon are some of the prettiest sections of the Loop. |
 | | I then lost the path on the way to Selsdon Park Road and had to fish out the compass to guide me to the pylon mentioned in the book, but from there to Hamsey Green the Loop is easy to follow, passing through Selsdon Wood and through a bunch of farmers' fields. |
 | | And there, at the end of this short day's walk, is the Good Companions pub on Hamsey Green, a welcome resting spot where you'd be well advised to take a break, in preparation for the inevitably long journey home to East Croydon and then home. |
