Waterlink Way is a long distance cyclepath and walking route in South East London. It extends from South Norwood Country Park (near Elmers End station) to the Cutty Sark ship in Greenwich, a total of eight miles.[1][2]

The Waterlink Way is an established part of the National Cycle Network (Route 21 between London and the Sussex coast).[3] It connects a number of parks and green spaces in South East London – including Ladywell Fields and Brookmill Park – while following the Pool and Ravensbourne rivers.[4] The route was designed to be accessible, with a large number of railway stations including Kent House, Lower Sydenham, Ladywell, Lewisham and Greenwich en route.[5]

In Cator Park, Beckenham the cyclepath links with the Capital Ring and Green Chain Walk long distance footpaths.
