Giro veloce in bici da Londra a Crouch End

This scenic ride takes you from the historic heart of the City of London—think St Paul’s, the Gherkin, and centuries-old alleyways—up north to the leafy, creative enclave of Crouch End. You’ll spin out of the city on mostly quiet roads and purpose-built cycleways, making it a relaxed escape from the hustle and bustle. With only about 13 kilometers to cover, this route manages a gentle blend of urban energy and calmer, suburban vibes. There’s a pinch of climbing (137 meters up, to be precise), so you’ll earn those coffee and pastry stops once you arrive.

Crouch End itself is known for its village atmosphere, great independent cafes, and, if you’re lucky, live music spilling from local pubs. All told, you’re mostly rolling on smooth tarmac or well-kept cycleways, with just a small handful of short stretches on paving stones. Perfect for a weekday commute or a slower, sunny weekend ride.
