Cycling day trip from City of London to Hinchley Wood

City of London to Hinchley Wood Cycling Route

This ride starts in the energetic heart of London, surrounded by historic landmarks, bustling streets, and iconic skyscrapers. You’ll quickly trade the City’s rhythm for quieter vibes, as half the route follows calm roads and a solid chunk—almost 40%—rolls along dedicated cycleways.

The journey is just over 36 km and mostly flat, with gentle rolling sections (about 130 meters of climbing) to keep things lively without being punishing. Expect a smooth ride on mostly paved and asphalt surfaces, gliding past riverside parks and leafy suburbs as you make your way southwest out of London.

The route winds through some scenic residential areas before reaching Hinchley Wood, a peaceful village-like suburb known for its green spaces and relaxed atmosphere. It’s the perfect ride if you want to escape the city buzz and finish somewhere tranquil. Just top up your tires and enjoy the blend of cityscape, suburbs, and a touch of countryside along the way!
