Alright, gear up for a quick city spin from London to the historic heart of the City of London! This 3-kilometer jaunt is perfect for those who want to dive into the vibrant hustle and culture that London offers while sticking mostly to cycling-friendly paths.

Most of your route is on dedicated cycleways (over half, in fact!), ensuring a smooth ride away from the madness of traffic. You’ll zip through quiet roads, making it a scenic and relatively calm journey. Keep an eye out as you move through occasionally busier roads, but don't worry, they make up only a tiny portion of this ride.

Starting from anywhere in lively London, you’ll find yourself exploring various iconic neighborhoods as you pedal. The mostly flat and gentle ascent means your legs will thank you. And, with a whopping 92% of the surface being smooth asphalt, it's all about comfort!

Your destination, the City of London, isn't just a financial hub—it's rich with history, featuring landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London, so don’t forget to soak in the views. Happy cycling and exploring!
