Weren't you asking re travel from North Greenwich recently? Surely you are not moving even further away from the schools before your DD potentially starts there? Or was North Greenwich just the point she would arrive at, having crossed the Thames?

The 132 bus runs from North Greenwich to Bexleyheath. It's a bus journey through heavy traffic and will at best take around an hour, but probably much longer.

Or the 486? That seems to intersect with the 108 from Stratford, which comes through the Blackwall Tunnel? Depends where in East London one's starting point is, of course.

Any journey that involves the Blackwall Tunnel in any shape or form is to be avoided in my book - even if you don't have to go as far as actually going through it! :lol:

OP please don't believe the google searches that say it's 15 miles and will take 30 minutes, I think that's probably by helicopter with private landing :lol: Think about how your child will do this journey on a cold, wet November afternoon in rush hour, then think about after school activities, missing the bus etc etc.
