Giro veloce in bici da Londra a Poplar

Hop on your bike in the heart of the City of London, surrounded by skyscrapers and centuries-old landmarks (keep an eye out for the Gherkin and St. Paul’s as you set off!). You’ll quickly swap the corporate buzz for quieter cycleways, gliding eastward towards Poplar. Most of the 7km route is smooth riding, with about 78% on dedicated cycleways and very little time spent on busy roads—so it’s stress-free and perfect for city cruising.

You’ll pass through energetic Whitechapel and Limehouse—both steeped in Docklands history. Try spotting the Limehouse Basin or even the Regent’s Canal! The ride is mostly flat with just a few gentle climbs and downhills, making it suitable for all abilities. There are occasional patches of gravel and paving stones, which add a bit of variety. Your journey ends in Poplar, a vibrant East End neighborhood that's seen waves of transformation, from Victorian docks to modern skyscrapers.

Stop by Chrisp Street Market or take a peek at the nearby Canary Wharf skyscrapers—there’s always something new to explore at either end of this urban ride!
