Spin from Crouch End’s Clock Tower and roll gently down Crouch Hill toward Stroud Green and Finsbury Park, then thread quiet backstreets through Stoke Newington. If you fancy a green detour, skirt Clissold Park—keep an eye out for its little deer enclosure—before continuing toward Hackney via Dalston or Hackney Downs.

It’s about 8.4 km and mostly smooth sailing on asphalt, with the bulk on quiet roads and a good chunk on dedicated cycleways. There’s a slight net downhill into Hackney, so the pedaling feels easy, with only a couple of gentle rises. Expect minimal time on busy roads.

Start and finish both have plenty to explore: Crouch End is known for indie cafés and the landmark Clock Tower, while Hackney delivers creative energy, the Hackney Empire, and weekend vibes around London Fields and Broadway Market. A great everyday city ride—comfortable, direct, and greener than you might expect.
