By bicycle from London to Belsize Park

Kick off your ride in the heart of London, where history meets modern buzz. From iconic landmarks and lively streets, you’ll head north through a mix of bustling city life and surprisingly peaceful corners, winding your way towards leafy Belsize Park in North London.

The route is mostly on smooth, paved surfaces and nearly 60% of your ride takes advantage of dedicated cycleways—so you can relax and enjoy the cityscape without jostling with too much traffic. Cruise alongside quiet roads for a good chunk of the way and only dip into busier stretches for a tiny fraction of the route.

You’ll gently climb up towards the maximum elevation at 67 meters—it’s enough to feel you’re leaving downtown behind, but not a leg-burner by any means. As you roll into Belsize Park, you’ll be greeted by the area’s charming mix of cafes, Victorian homes, and leafy streets—a quieter, residential pocket beloved by Londoners.

Whether you’re out for a scenic commute or just exploring, this London-to-Belsize ride serves up classic urban sights and a touch of neighborhood tranquility.
