Sortie rapide à vélo de Cité de Londres à Hackney

This route takes you from the historic heart of the City of London up to the creative buzz of Hackney. You’ll begin surrounded by London’s iconic skyscrapers, ancient lanes, and the non-stop energy of the financial district. After dodging the crowds, you’ll wind your way north through mostly quiet roads and the occasional cycleway, making for a relaxed city ride.

As you pedal away from The City, you’ll notice the vibe shift—from suit-and-tie commuters to Hackney’s laid-back artists and vintage-shop enthusiasts. Expect mostly smooth asphalt under your wheels, with a few stretches of paving stones to keep things interesting. There are a couple of gentle climbs, but nothing too strenuous, and overall you’ll find it’s an easy, urban-friendly ride.

After a little over 7 km, you’ll roll into Hackney—a hotspot for indie coffee shops, street art, and lively parks. Whether you’re here for Broadway Market or just a change of scene, this route is a great way to see (and feel) the pulse of East London.
