Kick off your cycling adventure in Woolwich, a riverside neighborhood with a rich military history and some pretty cool urban renewal spots (don’t miss the Royal Arsenal if you get a chance!). The route to Canary Wharf takes you mostly on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—perfect for a chilled ride without battling much traffic.

You’ll weave along the Thames Path at times, catching glimpses of the river and passing green spaces like Thames Barrier Park. Expect a few gentle climbs—total ascent is about 171 meters, but nothing too steep. The path is mainly paved and on asphalt, so it’s a smooth ride nearly all the way. There might be a short section where the surface changes, but nothing your tires can’t handle.

Once you roll into Canary Wharf, take in the iconic skyscrapers and bustling waterfront vibes. It’s London’s modern business hub, but also home to chic cafés and public art. All in all, this ride blends river views, urban adventure, and a slice of East London’s character—no need to rush!
