Quick ride by bicycle from Brixton to Brixton Hill

This gentle ride takes you from vibrant Brixton, famous for its buzzing markets and music scene, down to laid-back Brixton Hill—a leafy area that still keeps you close to the action but feels a bit more relaxed. The route is a shade over 5 km and has a very mellow climb (you’ll barely notice the ascent of just about 25 meters), making it a great option if you want an easy journey or a quick daily commute.

Nearly 90% of your ride sticks to quiet roads and access ways, so you can enjoy the sights without the stress of heavy traffic. It’s mostly smooth tarmac, with a little bit of paving stones to keep things interesting. Along the way, soak up Brixton’s street art, maybe grab a coffee at a local café, and cruise through residential avenues before rolling up to Brixton Hill. Enjoy the easy pace and classic south London vibes!
