Sortie rapide à vélo de Barnsbury à Wood Green

Set off from leafy Barnsbury, a peaceful neighborhood in Islington filled with handsome Georgian terraces and a laid-back village vibe. Your ride north heads steadily out of inner London on mostly quiet, paved roads—perfect for a mellow cycle and a bit of urban scenery (bonus: plenty of coffee stops if you need fuel).

This 9 km route lets you roll through some classic north London neighborhoods. You’ll stick to cycleways and residential streets for the most part, with only very brief stints on anything busier. There’s some gentle up and down, but nothing that’ll really test your legs.

Eventually, you’ll cruise into bustling Wood Green, known for its diverse community, excellent shopping, and of course, the iconic Alexandra Palace just nearby—well worth a visit if you’ve got time (and energy) left. Grab a snack and enjoy the change in pace from Barnsbury’s tranquility. All in all, a solid city ride that shows you both calm corners and lively local life in North London.
