Cycling day trip from Clerkenwell to Wembley

Ready to swap the bustle of central London for the legendary home of football? This cycling route takes you from the creative hub of Clerkenwell up to Wembley, covering just over 22 km. It's a mostly smooth ride, with a whopping 73% on cycleways and only a few short stretches on busier roads.

Leaving Clerkenwell—known for its cool bars, historic architecture, and design studios—you'll thread your way northwest along a mix of paved paths and a bit of paving stone, with gradual climbs totaling just over 100 meters (nothing too gnarly). As you wind through North London neighborhoods, keep your eyes open for urban parks and hidden cafes—a good excuse for a quick refuel.

You’ll finish up near Wembley’s iconic stadium arch, where major sporting and music events play out to massive crowds. If you’ve got time, grab a bite or a drink at Boxpark or simply soak in the place’s electric atmosphere. All in all, it's a relaxed ride with plenty to see en route!
