Bike the Bounds of Hackney
A cycling route starting in Hackney, England, United Kingdom.
Overview
About this route
A circumnavigation of the borough boundary of the London Borough of Hackney. Sometimes the route stays just inside the boundary, and at other times it runs along outside it.
Note that as of July 2013, the easternmost borough boundary is still inaccessible inside the Olympic Park, and the route as drawn doesn't work. Instead of turning right into Hepscott Road from Wallis Road, E9, you should continue along Wallis Road, then Berkshire Road, Osborne Road, and Eastway, to rejoin the route at the A12 Lea Interchange. The start point is at Hackney Town Hall, but you can of course meet up anywhere along the boundary and ride either clockwise or anti-clockwise (the latter is recommended, as it minimises the number of right turns). The traditional end point is at the Princess of Wales pub at Lea Bridge, but feel free to find your own.- -:--
