En bici de Poplar a Hackney

Set off from Poplar in East London—a lively area known for its vibrant mix of history and modern regeneration. You’ll wind your way north through neighborhoods alive with local markets and street art, heading for Hackney, one of London’s coolest districts packed with parks, cafes, and creative energy.

This ride is just under 9 km, mostly along quiet roads and cycleways, making it a chilled journey perfect for everyday cyclists. The route is mainly paved or asphalt, but you’ll hit a bit of gravel (about 10%)—enough to spice things up but nothing your average bike can’t handle. There aren’t any tough climbs; you’ll only ascend about 22 meters, so it’s smooth sailing without breaking a sweat.

Arriving in Hackney, you’ll find yourself in the heart of one of London’s most eclectic and green boroughs, famous for its markets, music, and nightlife. Whether you’re headed for brunch, a park meet-up, or exploring the old Victorian streets, this route is a super laid-back ride between two dynamic London communities.
