Giro veloce in bici da Londra a Blackheath

This ride takes you from the historic heart of the City of London—home to icons like St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Gherkin—out to the leafy open spaces of Blackheath, southeast of the city. Covering just over 14 km, the route is mostly flat, with some gentle rolling as you approach your destination (the highest point is just 47 meters up).

You'll enjoy a pleasant blend of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a great escape from the busier city streets. Most surfaces are smooth asphalt, perfect for a comfortable cruise. As you pedal southeast, you’ll pass through neighborhoods full of character before reaching Blackheath, known for its wide expanses of green and village-like charm—perfect for a post-ride coffee or picnic.

This route is accessible to most cyclists and makes for a scenic, urban-to-green adventure—just watch out for a few missing bits of paving and keep an eye out as you cross busier roads.
