Clapham Common to Westminster and back via Battersea Park

Breeze Bike Rides in Lambeth

A ride along quiet back roads (Sustrans London Cycle Route 3) through Clapham, Vauxhall and Kennington - a constantly changing urban landscape - emerging on to the Embankment at Lambeth Bridge.  Great views of Parliament and the London Eye as we walk our bikes over Lambeth Bridge, then head back through quiet Westminster streets along the north bank of the Thames, past Tate Britain and Dolphin Square.

Lots of river views on the final section of the ride along the shared cycle/pedestrian path on the Chelsea Embankment, before crossing over to the south bank of the river on London's prettiest bridge - the Albert Bridge.  We then do a traffic free circuit of Battersea Park and return to Clapham Common for our cafe stop at the Bandstand Cafe.

This ride is all on tarmac, so suitable for all types of bike, including road bikes. 

We'll look forward to seeing you there!

Meet the Champions

• Jill Dicker-Solderer
• Michelle Miller Having lived in Manhattan and Central London for 15 years after university, it is just in the last few years that I've started cycling again. At first, this meant just around my SW London neighborhood as a way to get around faster and then longer rides to Richmond Park. Now in 2012, I've done nearly a dozen Breeze rides with a fellow school mum who is a Breeze Champion. I've loved getting to know areas outside my immediate neighborhood and other local women who have a 'quiet' passion for cycling. My husband is a keen cyclist and we are excited for our two boys to join us as they get older.
  
  See you soon!
