By bicycle from Canary Wharf to Bethnal Green

Get ready for a scenic spin from the heart of Canary Wharf to the vibrant streets of Bethnal Green! Your 7.5 km route takes you from the glass-clad towers and lively docks of Canary Wharf—London’s buzzing financial hub—heading northeast into one of East London’s coolest neighborhoods.

You’ll mostly be gliding along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so there’s plenty of time to take in riverside views, quirky canals, and the ever-changing street art. Only a short stretch is on busier roads—just enough to keep things interesting! The ride is gentle, with a few mild ascents and descents, nothing too daunting.

Feel the city shift around you as you leave sleek high-rises for the eclectic charm of Bethnal Green, known for its historic markets, hip coffee spots, and the famous V&A Museum of Childhood. It’s a slice of classic and modern London in just under an hour, mostly on smooth surfaces. Enjoy the ride!
