A relaxed city-to-royal-parks ride from the Square Mile to Kensington, about 9 km and mostly flat. Roll out from the City of London—home to St Paul’s, the Bank of England, and lanes older than the stock market—then pick up the protected Embankment cycleway along the Thames. Cruise past Somerset House toward Westminster and Big Ben, then swing through St James’s and into Hyde Park via the segregated lanes.
Continue across the park on smooth tarmac (it’s almost entirely paved) and skirt Kensington Gardens by the Royal Albert Hall. From there it’s a short glide to Kensington, known for its museum mile (V&A, Natural History Museum), Kensington Palace, and leafy streets.
Expect a ride that’s mostly on proper cycleways with a few quiet-road links, gentle ups and downs, and no stressful traffic. Great for commuters and sightseeing in one go.
