Gita in bici di un giorno da Hammersmith a Carshalton

Ready for a relaxed spin across southwest London? Start your ride in Hammersmith, a lively riverside neighborhood famous for its pubs and the iconic Hammersmith Bridge. From there, you’ll head south, weaving through a nice mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways (great news: over half your route is pretty chilled out). The route is just over 25 km—long enough for a good workout, but totally doable in a morning or afternoon.

Expect mostly smooth surfaces under your wheels, with the vast majority being paved or asphalt. There are a few short stretches of gravel or paving stones for a bit of variety, but nothing too rough. You’ll gently climb and descend, but with less than 100 meters of total ascent, your legs won’t be burning.

The ride finishes in Carshalton, a leafy suburb known for its charming village feel, ponds, and historic All Saints Church. Perfect for a little post-ride relaxation. Overall, it’s a friendly urban-to-suburban journey packed with London character along the way.
