THAMESMEAD IS ON THE MAP THIS SUNDAY!

This Sunday 20 September, Cygnet Square becomes the heart of the action as Dartford Orienteers bring the final stage of the London City Race weekend to Thamesmead!

Hundreds of competitors will take on two fast-paced sprint races around our brilliantly distinctive neighbourhood—and there’s a free 1.5km community course for local residents and friends too. No experience or advance booking needed: simply visit The Nest between 10am and 11.30am, where the team will explain everything and provide the equipment. Full event details⁠ in our bio.

We’re delighted that Bouldr Bar is the event’s official refreshment partner and we’ll be your Cygnet Square hangout throughout the day.

☕ Coffee and pastries from 8am

🍕 Pizza and jollof from lunchtime

🍺 Craft beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks

🐾 Families, friends and dogs welcome

Whether you’re racing, supporting someone, trying the community course or simply curious to see what’s happening, come and join us. Grab a table, watch the square come alive and help us give everyone a huge Thamesmead welcome!
