By bicycle from City of London to West End of London

Get ready for a classic London spin! Starting in the heart of the City of London—the historic financial district—you’ll trace a route westward into the glitz and buzz of the West End. It’s just under 9 km, with most of the ride (about 70%) on dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a great one for a relaxed pace.

You’ll zip past iconic landmarks: maybe a glimpse of St Paul’s Cathedral or the bustling Strand, before sliding into theatreland and shopping hubs like Oxford Street and Covent Garden. There’s a gentle 50-meter total ascent, nothing too daunting, with smooth pavement nearly all the way.

With nearly all of your ride on solid, smooth tarmac and very little time on busy roads, this is an ideal trip whether you’re sightseeing or commuting. The City of London is known for its medieval streets and modern skyscrapers, while the West End dazzles with culture, nightlife, and entertainment. Park up your bike and soak in the energy!
