Start in Shoreditch, rolling past murals, coffee spots, and side streets that already feel a bit quieter than the main drag. Head east toward Columbia Road; if it’s Sunday, you’ll catch the flower market in full bloom before cutting through Bethnal Green.
Continue along Hackney Road into Victoria Park for a lap by the lake or a quick coffee stop at Pavilion Café. On the way back, trace the canal and residential lanes through Mile End, calm and green with plenty of space to ride.
A short, scenic route that links the buzz of Shoreditch with the calm of the park and shows why London is best explored by bike.
