Quick ride by bicycle from Mitcham to Sutton

Set off from Mitcham, an eclectic South London suburb known for its vast green spaces like Mitcham Common and a village vibe that’s stylish yet down-to-earth. The ride to Sutton is around 10 km—pretty breezy—so perfect for a relaxed cycle rather than a sweat-drenched race.

You’ll enjoy mostly quiet roads and designated cycleways, which is great if you prefer a peaceful ride over dodging car horns. There’s a pretty gentle climb (just over 100 meters in total ascent), but nothing too daunting if you’re reasonably fit. The route is mostly paved or asphalt, but keep an eye out for the odd stretch of gravel or unpaved path.

Your ride ends in Sutton, a lively town that’s become a Greater London favorite for families and commuters. Sutton centre is great for a post-ride coffee or grabbing a bite—plus, you’re close to beautiful spots like the Sutton Ecology Centre.

All in all, it’s a suburban spin with plenty of easygoing charm, perfect for both regular cyclists and weekend pedalers alike!
