London Cycle Network Route 18

LCN 18 is part of the legacy London Cycle Network, linking neighborhoods on quieter streets and shared paths. This collection groups the mapped segments so you can follow the route end to end or just hop on for a shorter stretch. Expect mostly paved surfaces and gentle gradients—good for everyday bikes and relaxed city riding. Wayfinding is typically the blue London cycle signs with route numbers, though signage can be patchy in places, so it’s worth keeping the map handy. You can ride it in either direction and it connects to plenty of transport hubs and other cycle routes (including Cycleways and some NCN links). Ideal for commuting, errands, or an easy weekend spin. Use lights after dark, watch for busy junctions, and be courteous on shared paths. Distance may vary by segment as mapping gets updated—pick the bits that suit your day and enjoy the ride.
