Quick ride by bicycle from Holloway to City of London

Looking for a lively ride from North to Central London? Start your journey in Holloway, a buzzing, diverse neighbourhood known for its eclectic food scene and close proximity to the Emirates Stadium (home of Arsenal FC!). From there, you'll head south towards the historic heart of the capital: the City of London.

This roughly 9-kilometre route is mostly on smooth, paved surfaces with plenty of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making for a stress-free ride through the city. You’ll cruise past a mix of Victorian terraces, modern architecture, and leafy parks—perfect for a few scenic pit stops.

The route has just a bit of climb at the start, followed by a gentle descent as you approach the famous skyscrapers and ancient streets of the Square Mile. The City of London, founded by the Romans, is packed with impressive sights: from the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral to the futuristic ‘Gherkin’ tower.

All in all, it’s a relaxed journey blending the energy of North London with the historic gravitas of the City—ideal for commuters, explorers, or anyone after an urban adventure.
