The SuperSafe™ route from Camden Town to Bloomsbury covers 2.9 km and takes about 11 minutes. This flat ride includes a gentle climb of 7 metres and a descent of 11 metres. About 87% of the journey is on quiet streets and cycleways, making it a peaceful ride. Starting on Royal College Street, the route continues through Goldington Street and Polygon Road, utilising cycleways C6 and C27. As you approach Bloomsbury, the ride takes you along Euston Road, Tavistock Place, and Herbrand Street, before finishing on Guilford Street and Russell Square.
In this case, the quietest route is also the most direct, so SuperSafe™ adds no extra time. It smartly avoids Camden Road, known for its difficult junction, and steers clear of the Regent's Canal towpath, a road riders tend to avoid. The ride concludes on Herbrand Street, Guilford Street, and Russell Square, bringing you smoothly into Bloomsbury.
