Central London Cycle Grid

A connected web of bike-friendly routes across the heart of London. Think quiet back streets and protected lanes linking big sights and busy neighborhoods—Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden, the City, and the South Bank. It’s mostly flat, fully paved, and easy to dip in and out of, so there’s no set start or finish—just pick a segment and roll.

Great for commuters and first-time visitors alike, with plenty of Thames crossings and links to Tube, rail, and Santander Cycles. Expect calmer riding on weekends and a bit more bustle at rush hour. Watch junctions and buses, but otherwise it’s a smooth way to get around central London without hugging main roads. Mix and match sections to build your own loop or use it for quick hops between neighborhoods.
