It’s been a (long) while since I had a “play” on the trains, so set off explore Surbiton Station – a classic “art deco” style station. With a fast train to Waterloo and a fast to Surbiton, I was there within an hour of leaving home!

From there I caught a local train to Hampton Court:

and walked across the River Thames through Bushy Park:

Not really a good choice as there was a biting wind in my face the whole time!

From the northerly entrance, it was a short walk through suburban streets to Teddington Station:

A very posh entrance.

From Teddington, I caught a train to Clapham Junction (via Richmond), then an overground service to Canada Water.

I’m not sure what I expected there, but again a biting wind and a bit of a building site:

From there, it was a tube to London Bridge and a fast train home.
