Quick ride by bicycle from Holloway to London

Kick off your ride in vibrant Holloway, north London’s eclectic hub known for its mix of shops, cafés, and the famous Emirates Stadium. Your route winds south for just under 12 km, mostly along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—perfect for an easy-going city cruise. You’ll glide past classic London terraces, leafy streets, and maybe catch glimpses of local markets in Islington.

Most of the route is nicely paved, with the odd section on paving stones adding a genuine London touch! As you head toward the heart of the city, the terrain is mostly gentle with a few minor ups and downs (don’t worry—the overall descent is greater than the ascent).

The ride finishes smack in central London, close to iconic landmarks like Covent Garden and the River Thames. This slice of the capital is packed with history, culture, and unbeatable people-watching—ideal for a post-ride coffee or pint. Overall, it’s a fun, comfortable spin from north London buzz to the capital’s historic core.
