Quick ride by bicycle from Camberwell to Kensington

Ready for a smooth city spin? Set off from Camberwell, a lively south London neighborhood with a creative vibe and plenty of coffee stops, and make your way to the elegant streets of Kensington, famous for its museums, leafy parks, and Victorian architecture.

This nearly 15 km route is mostly paved and takes full advantage of London’s network of dedicated cycleways — over half your trip is on comfy, car-free paths, and most of the rest is on quiet roads, so it’s great for a relaxed ride. There are a few gentle climbs, but nothing too taxing (ascend just under 67 meters), and at no point do you hit any major hills.

Roll past neighborhoods like Battersea and Chelsea, taking in city life as you go. And when you reach Kensington, you’re just a stone’s throw from Hyde Park, the Science Museum, and some of London’s fanciest cafés. This is a fantastic route for enjoying the best of urban cycling without the stress of traffic!
