One thing I’d do in Lewisham

My pick

Walk the GreenWay through Lewisham, then get a coffee at Maia near the station.

Join at Lewisham West light rail and head into the Mills precinct: heritage industrial buildings, the canal and an off-leash dog area. Then walk back toward the train station for Maia, a tiny royal-blue specialty coffee spot on the corner of Victoria Street, in the old Trainspotting Café site.
