By bicycle from London to Hammersmith

Set off from the heart of London and cruise west towards Hammersmith on a relaxed and mostly flat 13.7 km ride. The route weaves you through a really pleasant mix of cycleways and quiet roads—about 93% of it keeps you off the busiest streets, so you can enjoy the scenery and city vibes in peace. London, as you know, is packed with sights—so don’t rush the start! You might pass by some classic facades, leafy parks, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the Thames.

As you get closer to Hammersmith, the ride stays easygoing, with just a couple of gentle rises (the maximum elevation is just over 30 meters—barely noticeable, really). Hammersmith itself is lively, famous for its riverside pubs and the iconic Apollo music venue, so it’s a great place to grab a coffee or catch a show. The whole way is paved, with smooth asphalt making up most of the surface, so it’s friendly for all types of bikes. Bring a camera—urban London has plenty of surprises along the way!
