Cycling day trip from Blackheath to West End of London

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming district of Blackheath in southeast London, known for its vast grassy heath and quaint village vibes. You'll be pedaling along a 20.6 km path that's mostly flat, so it's a chill ride until you reach the lively West End of London.

The route is predominantly on cycleways and quiet roads, making for an enjoyable journey with minimal busy road exposure. Imagine cruising past the scenic Greenwich Park, with a quick glimpse of the historic Royal Observatory. The surface mix is almost entirely asphalt, which means a smooth ride for your tires, with the odd patch of cobbles or concrete thrown in.

You'll breezily ascend just over 91 meters over the course of your journey, but nothing too strenuous. With only a touch of descent, it’s certainly no roller coaster of a ride.

As you near the West End, get ready for the thrill of one of London’s most bustling and vibrant areas. This iconic location boasts theatres, shopping galore, and dining experiences that carry global flavors. Whether the allure of a hit West End show or some retail therapy draws you in, your cycling adventure will end on a high note!
