Cycling day trip from Wembley to Clerkenwell

Set off from Wembley, home to the iconic Wembley Stadium (arguably the heart of English football and live music!), and wind your way southeast towards Clerkenwell. The 23km ride is mostly along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a pleasant route for those not keen on mixing with heavy traffic.

You’ll roll gently downhill overall, with just a couple of moderate climbs—nothing too tough, so it’s suitable for anyone with a bit of cycling experience. Expect a smooth ride, with over 90% of the surface being paved or asphalt, although be ready for the occasional stretch of paving stones.

As you reach Clerkenwell, you’ll see a vibrant side of historic London, full of creative studios, cafés, and excellent gastropubs. It's the perfect place to unwind after your ride! Whether you're cycling for the landmarks or just the fun of it, this route offers a great cross-section of North London’s energy.
