Quick ride by bicycle from Harringay to Clerkenwell

This ride takes you from the north London neighborhood of Harringay—famous for its bustling Green Lanes and vibrant mix of food spots—down to the central hotspot of Clerkenwell. You’ll cover just over 13 km in a little under 4 hours of easy pedaling, winding mostly along quiet roads and cycleways (so it’s pretty chill compared to the city center).

Start with leafy North London vibes in Harringay, then thread your way south past Finsbury Park, maybe catching some city views as you cross over the railway lines. You’ll pass through a patchwork of neighborhoods, each with its own flavor—look out for pop-up bakeries and hip coffee shops along the way. Before you know it, you’ll land in Clerkenwell, a former monastic zone that’s now full of cool design studios, cafes, and some of London’s oldest pubs.

Most of the route is paved or asphalt, and the ascent is gentle enough not to break a sweat unless you want to! Perfect for a weekend cruise or a scenic commute.
