By bicycle from Battersea to Brixton Hill

Jump on your bike in leafy Battersea, famous for its riverside park, iconic Power Station, and buzzing local cafés. You’ll wind your way southeast mostly along quiet roads and some great cycleways, passing through charming South London neighborhoods. This route is about 6 km, so it’s perfect for a relaxed ride—a little over an hour with plenty of time to soak up the local vibe.

As you head towards Brixton Hill, expect a gentle climb (just under 40 meters, nothing too daunting!) and smooth riding—the route’s mostly paved and asphalt. You’ll skirt the lively heart of Clapham and roll past tree-lined streets before ending up in Brixton Hill, home to legendary music venues and vibrant street art. Watch for a few busy road crossings, but overall you’ll enjoy a laid-back, urban ride linking two of South London’s coolest spots.
