Quick ride by bicycle from Chelsea to Hammersmith

Set off from the elegant streets of Chelsea, known for its charming townhouses and riverside promenades, and cruise westward toward Hammersmith for a relaxed ride through classic West London neighborhoods. The route is about 7.6 km and is mostly paved or asphalt (so expect a smooth roll), keeping hills to a minimum with less than 11 meters of ascent.

You’ll stick mainly to quiet roads, making this a pleasant experience even for casual riders. Peek left and right for glimpses of leafy squares and chic cafés as you head through Fulham, then follow the flow toward the Thames. The final stretch brings you into lively Hammersmith, a neighborhood famous for the Apollo concert venue and riverside pubs—perfect for a post-ride drink!

A little London trivia: both Chelsea and Hammersmith have historic ties to music and the arts, so you’ll be pedaling through areas that inspired creative minds for centuries. Enjoy the ride!
