Cycling day trip from Morden to London

Set off from suburban Morden and cruise north towards the vibrant heart of London! This ~21 km ride is mostly along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—perfect if you want to avoid heavy traffic and just enjoy the journey. Morden, at the southern tip of the Northern line, is known for its green spaces (don’t miss Morden Hall Park if you have some time before or after your ride).

Along the way, you’ll gently climb and descend only about 80 meters—nothing too daunting for most cyclists, and with a max elevation just over 40 meters, so you can just focus on enjoying the scenery. Most of the route is nicely paved or asphalted, making for a smooth ride.

As you roll into central London, the energy shifts; you’ll swap leafy suburbs for iconic sights and buzzing city life. Why not celebrate your arrival with a coffee—or maybe a selfie at the nearest historic landmark? All in all, it’s a relaxed way to link the quiet far south with the big-city action up north!
