By bicycle from London to City of London

Set off from central London’s buzzing heart and head east into the City of London for a gentle, super-accessible ride that’s just under 3 km—perfect for a lunchtime spin or a laid-back commute. The route makes the most of London’s excellent cycleways (over half the journey!), keeping things smooth and mostly separated from busy traffic. Expect to pedal along mostly asphalt and paved surfaces, with a few classic paving stones thrown in for character.

You’ll weave out from the historic hustle of Trafalgar Square toward the skyscrapers of the Square Mile, passing both iconic landmarks and hidden corners. There's just a bit of gentle climbing, but London’s famously flat, so you won’t break a sweat. End your ride in the City, the capital’s ancient core—home to St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Gherkin, and centuries of history packed into less than one square mile. It’s a quick, rewarding hop that showcases London’s mix of old and new and its growing love for two wheels.
