Quick ride by bicycle from West End of London to Bethnal Green

Set off from London’s lively West End—famous for its theatres, shopping, and historic squares—and weave your way east towards Bethnal Green, a neighborhood with a rich history and a cool, creative vibe. The ride is just over 11 km and mostly flat, with gentle ups and downs (you’ll get a bit more descent than ascent overall).

You’ll mostly be rolling along proper cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a comfortable ride perfect for city cruising. The route takes you past some classic London sights: from bustling Oxford Street, through Bloomsbury’s leafy parks, and along vibrant pockets of the East End.

Once you reach Bethnal Green, treat yourself to the area’s street art, independent cafes, and the lovely Victoria Park close by. With nearly the whole route paved and hardly any busy roads, it’s a great city ride—whether you’re commuting or just out for a bit of urban exploring.
