Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Blackheath à West End of London

Set off from the leafy open spaces of Blackheath, famous for its historic heathland and village-y vibe, and roll towards the bustling heart of London’s West End. This ride takes you on a mostly smooth, paved journey—think cycleways and plenty of quiet roads, so you can enjoy the changing scenery without too much traffic stress.

You’ll wind through classic South London neighborhoods, maybe catching glimpses of Greenwich Park (if you want a scenic detour), before crossing the Thames and heading into central London. As you move west, the landscape shifts from local communities and green parks to the iconic landmarks and buzzing streets of the West End, home to theaters, Covent Garden, and world-class shopping.

At just over 20 km, it’s a solid ride but nothing too daunting. You’ll handle some gentle ups and downs—about 90 meters of ascent—enough to feel accomplished, but not enough to spoil the fun. The finish line, the West End, is pure London energy. Stop for a coffee and soak up the people-watching—you’ve earned it!
