By bicycle from West End of London to Holloway

Set off from the vibrant West End of London—home to world-famous theatres, bustling Oxford Street shopping, and iconic landmarks like Soho and Covent Garden. From the heart of the city, you’ll enjoy a largely smooth ride north towards Holloway, mostly along quiet roads and cycleways, perfect for a relaxed urban cycling experience.

The route is just over 9 kilometers, so it’s a manageable spin without any serious hills; you’ll barely notice the gentle ascent of just about 45 meters. Expect mostly asphalt and paving stones under your tires as you cruise through Bloomsbury’s leafy streets, perhaps passing by the British Museum if you fancy a quick detour.

Roll into Holloway, a lively and diverse north London neighbourhood. Known for its independent cafes and proximity to Emirates Stadium (home of Arsenal FC), Holloway is a great spot to wrap up your ride with a coffee or bite. Enjoy the city scenery, the mix of historic and modern London, and the ease of dedicated cycling infrastructure along most of the route!
