By bicycle from Canary Wharf to Camberwell

This ride takes you from the bustling modern spires of Canary Wharf to the creative heart of Camberwell, perfect for a London cross-town adventure. Starting in Canary Wharf, you’ll leave the gleaming glass and riverside paths behind, heading south through some classic East End neighborhoods before crossing the Thames (hello, views!) and weaving your way through leafy backstreets and cycleways.

The route covers just under 16 km, mostly on paved and asphalt surfaces, with a decent mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads—so traffic stress stays low. There are a few gentle hills, but nothing too challenging; you’ll climb almost 88 meters in total and descend a bit more as you head towards Camberwell.

Camberwell is known for its vibrant arts scene and delicious eateries—if you’re hungry after the ride, you’ll have plenty of café choices to refuel. All in all, it’s a great way to connect two completely different sides of London by bike!
