Sortie rapide à vélo de Borough londonien de Wandsworth à Brentford

Roll out from Wandsworth Town to the Thames, then spin west to Putney Embankment. Cross Putney Bridge to the north bank and follow the riverside towards Hammersmith—expect rowers, big river views, and a mostly flat, easy-going ride. Thread through quiet backstreets and cycleways past Chiswick and the pretty Strand-on-the-Green, then continue to Kew Bridge and into Brentford via the waterside paths around Brentford Lock and the Grand Union Canal.

It’s about 17.5 km, largely on quiet roads and cycleways, with only gentle ups and downs. Surfaces are mostly paved, but you’ll meet the odd bumpy patch near the river; watch for pedestrians on shared sections. Prefer protected lanes? You can hop onto Cycleway 9 along Hammersmith/Chiswick High Road for a faster, direct run.

Fun bits: Wandsworth takes its name from the River Wandle, which meets the Thames right where you start. Brentford sits at the confluence of the River Brent and the Thames, home to canalside warehouses, Syon Park nearby, the London Museum of Water & Steam, and Brentford FC’s Gtech Community Stadium near Kew Bridge. Perfect for a scenic, unrushed riverside spin.
