Cycling day trip from Kennington to Ealing

Set off from vibrant Kennington and make your way northwest across the city towards leafy Ealing—a classic “across London” ride with plenty of sights along the way. This 22 km trip is mostly on cycleways (about 70%), so it’s a great option if you’re looking for a safer and more relaxed pedal across the capital.

You’ll roll through a mix of interesting neighborhoods, including possible views of the Thames and maybe a peek at Hyde Park depending on your chosen route. There’s a modest amount of climbing (just over 120 meters ascent in total), so it’s not too demanding, but will keep things interesting.

Kennington is known for its iconic cricket ground and lively urban vibe, while Ealing offers a more residential, almost villagey feel and is famous for its historic film studios. The surface is mostly asphalt and paving stones, though watch out for a few short sections that may be a bit rougher.

Perfect for a Saturday ride with friends or as a city-crossing adventure—grab a coffee in Kennington, and reward yourself with a pastry in Ealing!
