By bicycle from Hammersmith to Richmond

This ride takes you from Hammersmith, with its lively riverside pubs and historic Apollo theatre, southwest to the leafy tranquility of Richmond. The route is just over 10 km and mostly flat, making for a relaxed ride that clocks in at a little over an hour at an easy pace.

You’ll roll along mostly quiet roads and dedicated cycleways (over 80% paved/asphalt, so smooth going!), hugging the Thames in parts for some lovely riverside views. Expect minimal hills—just a gentle 9 meters of ascent—so it’s perfect for a stress-free commute or a leisurely afternoon outing.

When you reach Richmond, reward yourself with a stroll through picturesque Richmond Park or grab coffee by the Green. It’s a fantastic blend of urban buzz and nature, connected by a scenic, bike-friendly route.
