Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Brixton Hill à Brighton

Route: Brixton Hill to Brighton

Ready for an urban-to-seaside cycling adventure? Start in Brixton Hill, a vibrant pocket of South London known for its eclectic music scene, bustling markets, and Caribbean eateries. The ride out of London will wind you through a mix of quiet roads and well-kept cycleways, steering clear of most heavy traffic.

As you leave the city behind, be ready for a few lengthy climbs — you’ll rack up over 900 meters of ascent, including sections over the South Downs, so save some energy for those hills! The route is mostly on paved and asphalt surfaces, but a small chunk might be gravel or unpaved, so wider tires are helpful.

After about 112 km and around 7–8 hours in the saddle at a steady pace, you’ll roll down into Brighton. Famous for its pebbled beach, quirky lanes, and iconic pier, Brighton is the perfect place to end your ride with fish and chips by the sea. Don’t forget to snap a selfie at the colourful seafront before heading back!
