The dedicated "Footpath" routing in this area used for pavements is screwing up pedestrian and cycle routing.

For example, routing apps can't sent pedestrians or cycles from Granton Road here in to Streatham Vale Park, because the north-east side of the road isn't connected to the park.

I'm not sure if the correct "fix" is to add additional nodes to the park footpath to link it to the road and opposite pavement footpaths, or to take out all the pavement footpaths.

Most areas do not have dedicated "Pavement Footpath" routes, but this bit of Lambeth does and I assume it was done for a reason - so not just going to erase without asking.

The problem with pavement footpaths as a separate object is that routing apps don't understand that pedestrians can cross roads freely in most cases, unless a routing exists.

There is a contra-flow cycle lane on "The Green" for the first 50 metres or so, allowing access from "The Grange" to the start of the diagonal path (running WNW to ESE) which permits cycling.

I've updated the diagonal path to show cycling permitted, but I can't figure out the correct way to represent a cycle-only one way contraflow segment, I'll leave that to somebody with better skills!

"29" cycle route extends as follows:
Belvedere Road to Chipstead Close
Chipstead Close to Palace Road
Palace Road to Crystal Palace Station Road.

Here it joins with / becomes the "27".
