Have a Mooch.

North Greenwich gives the 486 a proper day-out start: climb over The O2, make a night of Mamma Mia! The Party, or use the wider Greenwich guide to build a bigger mooch.

Get off here 📍 Charlton

Charlton House Autumn Events 2026

Charlton is the heritage-and-spooky stop on this mooch, with Charlton House giving you seasonal events, history and a rather fitting Dracula detour.

Get off here 📍 Shooters Hill

For a greener detour, Shooters Hill gives you a free city farm and a heritage stop without needing to manufacture another town-centre section.

KEEP GOING →

Get off here 📍 Bexleyheath / Bexley

At the Bexley end, Hall Place makes a useful anchor for a bigger local day out, with gardens, heritage and seasonal events to explore beyond the bus journey.
