Quick ride by bicycle from London to Earlsfield

If you’re up for a classic London-to-suburb ride, pedaling from central London down to Earlsfield makes for a lovely 16.6 km journey. Starting in the beating heart of London, you’ll leave iconic landmarks behind and thread your way southwest, hopping between quiet residential streets and dedicated cycleways—perfect for both relaxed riders and those looking to avoid traffic.

The route is mostly flat, with a gentle ascent of just 77 meters overall, and a fair amount of it (about two-thirds) sits on peaceful roads that let you take in the sights without the hum of busy cars. Most of the ride rolls over smooth asphalt, but keep an eye out for those sections where the surface switches to paving stones or has less coverage—London charm means the path keeps you guessing!

Arriving in Earlsfield, you’re greeted by a lively neighborhood in the borough of Wandsworth, loved for its mix of riverside strolls, cozy cafes, and friendly local vibe. A brilliant way to trade city bustle for leafy calm—enjoy the ride!
