Enjoy a classic ride from vibrant Brixton to the historic heart of London in the City! This mostly paved route (with plenty of smooth asphalt under your tires) sets off from Brixton’s buzzing streets—famous for its lively markets and legendary music scene. It’s a great place to grab a coffee before you start.

You’ll cruise through a mix of chilled-out, quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, keeping traffic worries to a minimum. There’s a gentle ascent early on, but nothing too challenging—just enough to warm up the legs. Take in the changing cityscape as you roll north: leafy neighborhoods give way to more urban vibes as you approach the City of London.

The ride wraps up at the City, London’s ancient financial district, packed with striking modern skyscrapers and medieval alleys. It’s a fun, mostly calm urban ride, under 10 km, and you’ll get a real sense of the capital changing as you go. Perfect for a morning commute or a leisurely weekend spin!
