Quick ride by bicycle from Brixton Hill to Earlsfield

This relaxed ride takes you from the lively hub of Brixton Hill, known for its eclectic music scene and vibrant food markets, westward toward the quieter charm of Earlsfield. Covering just under 7 km, this mostly flat route is perfect for a mellow cycling day—expect to descend more than you climb as you glide out of Brixton.

You’ll primarily cruise along quiet roads, so it’s a great way to explore some of South London’s tucked-away neighborhoods without the stress of heavy traffic. There’s a bit of everything: smooth asphalt, paved stretches, and a dash of pedestrian-only sections to keep things interesting. The way dips gently down, peaking at about 36 meters, so no need to worry about serious hills.

Once you roll into Earlsfield, reward yourself with a coffee from one of its indie cafés or take a detour to the lovely Wandle Trail. It’s the perfect urban escape without leaving town—great for both regular commuters and those just looking for a fun ride!
