Anyway, I'll go back to loooking for London parkrun suggestions. I want somewhere with a good cafe for breakfast after if possible please.

I’ll put my vote in for Greenwich, although there are closer options for you. If you do head out our way note we are in Eltham’s Avery Hill Park and not Greenwich Park as the name may suggest :-)

Hilly Fields has a good cafe if I remember right.

HF does indeed have a lovely cafe.
The name describes both the location, and the course.

quimby hello 👋🏻 bit late to this but when I did the Isobel trail I used the loos in Sainsbury’s which is approx 5 min jog to the start. If you were feeling flush (and unless things have changed, did it before the Covid pause) you could park in the car park there but not sure of charges any more. I used to work locally and run up and down the trail and pr course is really quick.

Bruce Fordyce ran his 500th parkrun today.

What an inspiration.

Indeed. Grew up watching him dominate Comrades.

"Ran" the scenic and hilly Durlston Country Park parkrun on the edge of Swanage today. Bonus was a D for my alphabet, which is progressing very slowly.
It's a very friendly event, and coffee afterwards has fabulous views.
