Quick ride by bicycle from Catford to City of Westminster

Starting your ride in Catford, you’ll be kicking things off in a lively corner of South East London. Catford is known for its quirky Catford Cat sculpture and strong local character. From there, you’ll wind your way north-west towards the heart of the capital, ending in the bustling City of Westminster—home to icons like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey.

This 15 km route is pretty gentle, with barely any climbs (just over 18 meters of ascent), making it a great option if you’re after a relaxed ride or commute. You’ll cruise mostly on quiet roads and cycleways, passing through diverse neighborhoods and leafy streets. The surfaces are almost all smooth asphalt, so your wheels will thank you.

With only a touch of busy road and a smidge of paving stones, you can focus on enjoying the changing city scenery—not dodging potholes. Whether you’re sightseeing or just heading to work, this ride is a fun way to soak up London life from your saddle.
