About This Route

The “Victorian Gems and Modern Masterpieces” tour follows Tom Bogdanowicz’s route which was published in the London Cyclist’s summer 2022 magazine. Starting at 10.00 am the Needle at London Bridge, we will cycle a route passing Southwark Station, Kings Cross and surrounds, Caledonian Park Clocktower, British Library and Brunswick Centre. We will have an early coffee stop at the Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross. There are some gentle inclines along the 18 km route, but it’s mainly flat and almost all the time on cycle ways or quiet side roads. Lots to see and discuss, so we expect that we will not return before 13.00 to London Bridge.
