I can’t believe you didn’t head out to Highgate in North London for hills. Swains Lane is the only London hill to feature in Simon Withers’ best climbs. Ok, it’s not Hardnott, but it’s the best us townies can get. And it it is steep - about 15% through the main section.

The climb up to Alexandra palace is a good one. it averages at 5% gradient but the view from the top overlooks all of London. Muswell hill is round the corner too which is full of restaurants and cafe's. Would recommend if you find yourself in the North of London! Hampstead is nearby and a good spot to ride too

Wasn’t looking forward to cycling through London from north to south, on my way to the start point for a recent London to Paris charity challenge ride (cycled to the start in Croydon from my home in N/East this time), having never cycled in London before, but have to say it was an absolute joy for all the reasons mentioned in this video.

Gr8 Video! I was recently in London for the weekend, on foot and visited the main attractions including Harrods and the McLaren showroom. I noticed how clean the air is due to the emissions exclusion zones and how litter free the streets of Westminster are! One of the destinations I unfortunately didn't get time to visit was the Fully Charged e bike shop further down Canary Wharf but I did see lots of LIME e bike and hire scooters available in the city centre. My trip encouraged me to take the plunge and buy a good fold up e bike, and I look forward to returning to London to do some of the cycling routes in this video :)

Battersea power station is worth a ride to now. Yes it’s a little too like Canary Wharf with the security guards, cameras and bollards, but safe for bikers and the views are cool. The power station itself is beautiful. A ride back from Richmond park, via Putney, Wandsworth (admittedly some pretty naff bits ref cycle infra here) then along York road, on to Battersea park road on buttery tarmac in mainly segregated lanes. Enjoyed this Cade Media. ❤

@3:45 Gravel track around Richmond Park is OK but for me 7/10 because you have to be carefully avoiding pedestrians with dogs and children, so on the declines speed limit below 20 km/h (12 mph) especially during good weather and sunny days. New Forest National Park is a paradise for gravel riding, so maybe next episode from there just less than 2h from London ;)
