Quick ride by bicycle from Catford to Brixton

This ride takes you from Catford to Brixton, giving you a genuine taste of South London’s neighborhoods and parks. Starting in Catford, known for its quirky cat sculpture and bustling high street, you’ll follow a mostly flat and chilled route—expect just a few gentle climbs with an ascent of about 31 meters overall.

Most of your journey is on paved surfaces (with a comfy mix of asphalt and paved paths), and nearly half of it is on dedicated cycleways, making it a relaxed ride, especially if you’re not a fan of traffic. You’ll glide through leafy residential streets and might even cut through green areas like Brockwell Park (a perfect pit stop if you need a breather).

Finish up in Brixton, a vibrant hotspot famous for the legendary Brixton Market, music culture, and street art. The total distance is just under 16 km, so it’s a nice hour-ish ride for an afternoon outing or a breezy commute. Remember to watch out for a few missing surface patches, but otherwise, it’s mainly smooth sailing!
