By bicycle from Camberwell to Hackney

Ready for a great ride across London? This route takes you from Camberwell, a lively south London spot known for its creative flair and diverse street food, all the way up to Hackney, one of the city’s coolest neighbourhoods with bustling markets and artsy parks.

You’ll cruise mostly along quiet roads and cycleways (so it’s pretty chill for traffic stress) for about 15 km—perfect for a weekend spin or a longer commute. Expect a few gentle climbs, but nothing too taxing as you skirt up to a max elevation of just over 41 meters. Most of the ride is on smooth asphalt, though you’ll get the occasional stretch of paving stones to keep things interesting.

Camberwell’s galleries and cafes are a great place to fuel up, and you’ll wrap things up in Hackney, near London Fields or Broadway Market if you fancy a flat white or a pastry. All in all, a scenic and friendly city ride with a side of urban adventure.
