There is no cycle path here. It is possible that cycling is permitted on the normal sidewalk,but that is not a separated one, and is much closer to the carriageway centre line than the cycleway shown here.

I thought that there was a path here between Queensbury Road and Riverside Gardens.

Google Maps (both "satellite" and map view) show it.

Is it still there?

The Greyhound, a historic early-18th-century pub. It was badly damaged during the building of the apartments behind it. Lewisham Council took the developers (Purelake) to court. Purelake were fined and ordered to rebuild the inn using original materials, and the rebuilding plans were approved on the 25th of April, 2013.

The brother of the local MP (Jim Dowd) is a director of Purelake. There is strong feeling for the pub locally.
