Notes and sources
Cycleway 13 is drawn from the OpenStreetMap route relation tagged with its number in the June 2026 London extract our routing map is built from. Length is the sum of the mapped ways. Protected means a cycleway in its own right or a road with a mapped separate track. Quiet and lit are SuperSafe™ ratings from the Cyclemate London map over the 89% of the route it holds.
