Sortie rapide à vélo de Hammersmith à Kensington

This relaxed ride takes you from Hammersmith, a lively riverside district famed for its iconic Apollo music venue and bustling pubs, eastwards into elegant Kensington, home to grand Victorian buildings, leafy squares, and world-class museums.

You’ll pedal mostly along quiet roads and cycleways (over 90% of the way!), making it a stress-free cruise despite being right in the heart of London. The route is almost entirely paved asphalt, so it's as smooth as can be. Expect a few gentle hills—the total ascent is less than 45m, so you won’t be breaking too much of a sweat!

You’ll skirt alongside beautiful Holland Park and glimpse Kensington’s classy streets before ending within reach of the Natural History Museum, Kensington Gardens, and some truly excellent coffee shops. With a little over 6km to cover, it’s a perfect ride for a morning commute, a weekend wander, or sightseeing with a friend.
