Sortie rapide à vélo de Blackheath à City of Westminster

Kick off your ride in Blackheath, a leafy gem perched on the edge of southeast London, known for its vast heath and relaxed village feel. From there, you’ll work your way northwest toward the City of Westminster: the historic heart of London filled with icons like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey.

The route covers just over 13 km and is mostly nice and easy on the legs—with only a gentle ascent or two and quite a bit more descending as you leave Blackheath’s high ground for the city center. Most of your journey follows peaceful streets and cycleways, making for a stress-free urban ride.

You’ll whiz past Greenwich Park (peek at the Royal Observatory if you have time), cross the Thames (maybe via the Cycle Superhighway), and glide through London’s evolving riverside neighborhoods. Paved surfaces dominate, so it’s smooth rolling almost all the way, and the city’s sights and sounds greet you as you reach Westminster. A perfect blend of green space and city energy—ideal for a leisurely morning spin or an alternative city commute!
