Quick ride by bicycle from Crouch End to City of London

Get ready for a classic London ride! Starting in the leafy streets of Crouch End—a vibrant neighborhood known for its cool cafés and relaxed vibe—you’ll wind your way south toward the historic heart of the City of London. The route is mostly paved (with a generous helping of smooth asphalt under your wheels), and the vast majority of your journey follows quiet roads and cycleways.

Expect a gentle roll with a bit of climbing early on (the area around Highgate is where you’ll find most of the ascent), but then you’re treated to a gradual descent as you head into the cityscape. In about 13 km, you’ll swap cozy parks and village charm for the buzz of London’s financial district, where medieval lanes meet modern skyscrapers.

It’s a great taste of both green suburbs and iconic city landmarks—perfect for anyone wanting to see two sides of London in under an hour!
