There are numerous ways to get here, all of which require you to get to the top of the hill first! Below are a variety of links to local bike shops, mapping websites & route finders. Postcode: SW15 3TU.
Most parking here is free, but do ensure you check the local signage. When film crews are set-up on the Heath, the usual spaces can fill up fast.
Fast overland trains to/from Putney Railway Station connect Victoria, Kingston, Clapham Junction, Waterloo and elsewhere. Note: Putney Station is currently being refurbished and you’ll need to carry your bike up a lot of stairs!
Bicycles are allowed to get on/off at Putney Bridge Tube too (District Line), although it’s North of the river, at the bottom of Putney Hill.

Summer of Cycling:
http://www.summerofcycling.net/
The Summer of Cycling is a national campaign running between March and October which aims to encourage more people to cycle. The All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group and The Bicycle Association, alongside the force of 23 cycling organisations are aiming to double cycling each summer.
It’s about encouraging everyone with an interest in cycling to share the fun and introduce just one friend, neighbour, colleague or family member to cycling.
The Summer of Cycling brings together a whole host of organisations from charities, NGOs, industry manufacturers and retailers, as well as major UK cycling event organisers. It is very much a collaborative effort, with racing organisations being able to promote the Summer of Cycling just as easily as local cycle campaign groups or cyclists like you!
