London Cycle Network 86: Harrow-on-the-Hill to Ealing

LCN 86 links Harrow-on-the-Hill and Ealing across west London. Expect mostly paved surfaces with a good mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet residential streets, plus a few short busier stretches. It rolls gently, with a little climb around Harrow on the Hill, then an easier run toward Ealing.

It’s a practical everyday route for commutes or casual spins. Confident beginners should be fine—just take care at the busier junctions. You’ll pass handy links to local high streets and stations, so it’s easy to hop on or off. Off‑peak times feel calmer, and lights help for the urban sections.

Follow LCN 86 wayfinding where signed and keep an eye at key turns. Simple, direct, and very west London—this route neatly connects two classic neighbourhoods without the traffic stress.
