London is a cyclist’s dream. Royal parks, riverside paths, bustling squares, and iconic landmarks, all of which are connected by bike-friendly lanes and quiet streets.

Starting right from the conveniently located Unlimited Biking shop near Hyde Park, here’s the perfect route to discover the top 10 spots to bike to in London!
1. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens
After you use your Unlimited Biking pouches attached to your bike to pop your valuables and bottle of water inside, begin your ride just steps from the shop in London’s most famous green space. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens offer miles of car-free cycling paths past the Serpentine Lake, the Italian Gardens, and Kensington Palace.

2. Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Park

3. Westminster and Big Ben
Cycling from St. James’s Park safely with the helmet included with your rental from Unlimited Biking, it’s just a short ride to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. This area is bustling with history and great photo spots along the Thames. Unlimited Biking’s reliable bikes and included locks make it easy to stop, take a photo or two and, take it all in.

Cross Westminster Bridge to the lively South Bank, one of London’s most scenic cycling routes.
