Paseo rápido en bici de Barbican a Blackheath

Hop on your bike at the Barbican, right in the heart of London’s artsy cultural complex, and get ready for a diverse ride to the leafy expanse of Blackheath. This route covers about 16 km, mostly along quiet roads and purpose-built cycleways, making it a friendly trip for most cyclists.

After leaving the Barbican’s concrete curves behind, you’ll weave through city streets before joining dedicated cycle routes heading southeast. The path is nearly all paved or asphalt, so you’re in for a smooth spin, with just a few patches of paving stones and concrete adding character.

As you pedal across the Thames, keep an eye out for iconic city views. There’s a gentle climb of under 100 metres—not too challenging, but enough to feel like you’ve earned your break at the end.

You’ll finish in Blackheath, one of London’s oldest open spaces, famous for its village feel and historic common. Perfect for a post-ride picnic or a wander before heading home!
