London, Hyde Park Loop.
Best for: Park life & palace peeking.
This one’s a classic. Start at Lancaster Gate & cruise past Kensington Palace, weave through tree-lined paths, & end with a lakeside break by the Serpentine. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a corgi parade or a saxophonist under a bridge. It’s London at its laid-back best.
Approx. 4.5 miles | Mostly flat | Green & glorious.
London, Mayfair Meander.
Best for: Window shopping on wheels.
From Grosvenor Square, coast past Bond Street boutiques, swing by Savile Row, then sneak a snack at Mercato Mayfair. This is your slow roll through luxury London, with some very nice coffee stops along the way.
Approx. 3 miles | Urban streets | Fancy & fabulous.
London, Bankside Spin.
Best for: Culture hits & river views.
Pick up a VOLT e-bike at Native Bankside & roll west along the Thames. Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market. This ride’s got main character energy. Stop at Flat Iron Square for a bite to eat, then loop back via the Millennium Bridge.
Approx. 4 miles | Scenic & snacky | Cultural cardio.
London, St Paul’s Circuit.
Best for: A ride through the city’s storybook.
Start with a selfie outside St Paul’s, then head east through the City’s winding lanes. Follow the Thames Path to Tower Bridge, then circle back via quiet backstreets. It’s got a bit of everything – history, architecture, & some top-notch people watching.
Approx. 5 miles | Historic highlights | City clicking.
