À vélo de Blackheath à Cité de Londres

Kick off this scenic ride in Blackheath, a leafy village on the edge of southeast London known for its sprawling heath and a friendly, local feel. From here, you’ll weave northwest toward the heart of the City of London, the ancient and bustling core of the capital, packed with history (and skyscrapers!).

You’ll stick mainly to quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, hopping over mostly smooth asphalt with just a few stretches of paving stones and concrete. Expect a gentle roll—there’s a bit more descent than ascent, and the max elevation is a manageable 47 meters, so nothing to worry about if you prefer your rides mellow.

As you leave the open greens, you’ll pass through diverse neighborhoods, catching glimpses of Greenwich Park, Deptford market life, and the Thames before entering the maze of the City. The journey is about 14.5 km and should take a little over an hour (unless you stop for coffee or irresistible street food). Enjoy cruising between Blackheath’s village charm and the City’s grand architecture!
