Cycling from Clapham to Waterloo on the SuperSafe™ route covers 6.3 km in about 25 minutes. This flat ride includes a gentle climb of 2 metres and a descent of 17 metres. With about 88% of the journey on quiet streets and cycleways, it offers a peaceful ride through the city. The route begins on Clapham High Street, Stonhouse Street, and Cresset Street, and utilises cycleways CS7, C5, and C62. As you pedal along, you'll pass through streets like Larkhall Rise, Lansdowne Gardens, and Vauxhall Street, before reaching the final stretch on Kennington Road, Baylis Road, and Waterloo Road.
The SuperSafe™ route is as direct as the alternative, taking the same 25 minutes to complete the journey. However, it smartly avoids the busy Waterloo Road, which is currently affected by roadworks, and Lower Marsh, which has a closure in force. Instead, the ride concludes on Kennington Road, Baylis Road, and Waterloo Road, bringing you smoothly into Waterloo. This makes SuperSafe™ an excellent choice for a calm and efficient ride between these two neighbourhoods.
