This lively area of South London is known for its eclectic vibe, bustling markets, and rich musical heritage, including the famous Brixton Academy. It's a great spot to grab a bite or explore some local culture after your ride.

In total, you'll cover just over 13 kilometers, perfect for a leisurely afternoon exploring some of London's lesser-traveled routes. So, grab your helmet, plan a playlist, and enjoy the ride!
