Quick ride by bicycle from City of London to Kennington

This ride takes you from the buzzing heart of the City of London down to the vibrant neighborhood of Kennington. You’ll start surrounded by historic skyscrapers, ancient churches, and the occasional pinstripe suit. The route mostly follows cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a relaxed ride with little busy-traffic stress—a big plus!

As you head south, you’ll glide over mostly smooth surfaces, though you’ll also get a little taste of London’s classic paving stones along the way. The route dips gently downhill overall, with just over 21 meters of ascent and nearly 40 meters of descent—not too hilly, perfect for an easy-going cruise.

Kennington greets you with a more chilled-out vibe, plus leafy parks and local pubs. If you’ve got time, check out The Oval cricket ground or take a stroll through Kennington Park. All told, it’s a great city ride: a dash of London history at the start, and plenty of local flavor at the finish!
