En bici de Hackney a East Ham

The route itself is super-friendly for cyclists: just about half of the way follows dedicated cycle paths, and much of the rest is on quiet back streets, so you won’t be dodging too many cars. Elevation is minimal too, so your legs will thank you!

As you approach East Ham, you’ll notice the neighborhoods get greener and a bit quieter. East Ham is a melting pot of cultures and home to the beautiful Plashet Park, not to mention some excellent South Asian eateries—perfect for a victory snack at the end of your ride.

Distance is a shade under 12 km, so you’re looking at a comfortable journey, ideal for a morning or afternoon spin. Enjoy the ride!
