Cycling day trip from Wembley to Belsize Park

Set off from Wembley, famous for its iconic stadium and atmosphere buzzing with sport and music. You’ll quickly find yourself rolling along smooth cycleways and quiet roads—about 60% of the ride is on dedicated cycle paths, making for a generally stress-free spin across northwest London. The distance is just over 20 km, so it’s a good mid-length route—expect a few gentle ups and downs (with roughly 89 m of climbing), but nothing too tough for an energetic cyclist.

As you make your way east, you’ll weave through the leafy neighborhoods and pass by local gems, occasionally swapping pavement for some paving stones and the rare bit of gravel. Soon, you’ll reach Belsize Park, a charming, village-y corner of London close to the green slopes of Hampstead Heath. It’s a great spot for a well-earned coffee or a stroll through nearby Primrose Hill. All in all, this is a scenic, mostly paved ride connecting two vibrant parts of the city—ideal for a relaxed urban cycling adventure.
