Quick ride by bicycle from Bayswater to City of London

Ready for a great east-west London ride? This 9.4 km cycling route starts off in Bayswater, a charming neighborhood known for its classic Georgian architecture and proximity to Hyde Park—always a lovely spot for a pre-ride coffee.

From here, you’ll pedal mostly along smooth asphalt and designated cycleways (so, plenty of space away from cars!). The route cleverly weaves you through some of London’s quieter streets, giving you a break from any hectic traffic and letting you soak in the city vibes.

You'll gradually descend as you head towards the City of London—the historic heart of the capital, famous for its iconic skyline and landmarks like St Paul’s Cathedral and the Gherkin. It’s mostly flat, with just a subtle ascent or two to keep things interesting, but nothing too challenging.

All in all, it’s a smooth, city-friendly ride; perfect for both seasoned cyclists and those just out for a scenic spin. Enjoy the mix of old and new London as you glide from leafy Bayswater to the bustling center!
