Quick ride by bicycle from Camberwell to Canary Wharf

This is a great city route for commuters or anyone wanting to explore London on two wheels! Starting in vibrant Camberwell—known for its eclectic arts scene and independent cafes—you'll head northeast towards the financial heart of the city: Canary Wharf. The ride covers just over 15.5 km and is mostly on paved surfaces, with a nice mix of purpose-built cycleways (about half the journey) and quiet roads, so you can ride in comfort.

You'll wind through some classic London neighborhoods, perhaps catching glimpses of Burgess Park’s greenery before joining the Thames Path. As you get closer to Canary Wharf, the skyline picks up with gleaming skyscrapers welcoming you to one of the city’s most modern districts. Despite some gentle elevation (about 111 meters up and 93 meters down), the route is manageable for most cyclists. Canary Wharf itself has transformed from docks to a bustling business center, making your finish both scenic and impressive. Expect a safe, mostly smooth urban ride with plenty to see along the way!
