Quick ride by bicycle from London to Kennington

This route takes you on a gentle southbound ride from the heart of London all the way to Kennington. Starting by the famous sights around central London—think Big Ben, the Thames, and Trafalgar Square—you’ll cruise mostly along dedicated cycleways and quiet backstreets, dodging the worst of city traffic (only a small bite on busy roads).

The surface is mostly smooth asphalt, with a stretch here and there of paving stones, making for a comfortable ride. You’ll cross over the River Thames, so don’t forget to pause and enjoy the classic London skyline! With just a hint of climbing and a nice gentle descent toward Kennington, this route is friendly for all levels.

Kennington itself has a relaxed vibe, a world away from the bustle of central London, and is home to the lovely Kennington Park—perfect for a relaxing post-ride break. All in all, it’s an easy city cruise that packs plenty of London flavor into a short spin.
