Quick ride by bicycle from Clerkenwell to City of London

This short city spin takes you from vibrant Clerkenwell over to the historic heart of London, the City. Setting off from Clerkenwell—famous for its foodie scene and medieval history—you’ll roll mostly on smooth asphalt and well-marked cycleways. The pace is gentle and friendly for all levels; you’ll only climb about 34 meters, and descend just as much.

The route is about 3.5 km, so you can cruise through leafy backstreets and a few stretches of bustling (but manageable) city roads. Over half your journey is along dedicated cycleways, with just a handful of busier patches to keep you alert. As you make your way into the City of London, take in glimpses of classic London landmarks—on a weekday you’ll join smart commuters zipping between glass towers and old churches.

End your ride tucked between centuries-old architecture and skyscrapers, where history and modern life collide. Great for a quick urban blast or as part of a longer London adventure!
