Begin near Richmond Green and head northeast through quiet residential streets toward Kew Road. Pass Richmond Park’s grand gates, then curve through leafy neighborhoods where the Thames peeks through between rows of old brick houses.
Follow the route toward Kew Gardens, crossing stretches of tree-lined road and open parkland. As you near Brentford and Chiswick Bridge, the scenery opens into long riverside views — calm, green, and filled with other riders and walkers.
This route combines the best of southwest London: a mix of parkland, old town streets, and steady riverside riding with just enough elevation to keep it interesting.
