Quick ride by bicycle from Harringay to Hackney

Start your ride in Harringay, a lively North London neighborhood known for its diverse community, lush Green Lanes, and great local cafes. From here, you’ll wind your way south-east towards Hackney, rolling through a mix of mostly quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—perfect if you prefer a stress-free cruise. The route covers just over 11 km and is pretty flat, with gentle ups and downs totaling around 50 meters in ascent and descent, so it’s friendly for any fitness level.

You’ll zip past classic terraced streets, maybe spot some street art, and skirt near Clissold Park, one of North London’s gems (worth a quick detour if you need a break). Most of your ride is on paved surfaces, mainly asphalt, though watch out for a few stretches of paving stones. You’ll end up in Hackney, one of London’s trendiest boroughs—think cool markets, indie coffee shops, and the creative buzz the area’s famous for. All in all, this ride is a fun, relaxed way to connect two vibrant corners of the city.
