London bike tours - the best way to see the city
If you've never done a London bike tour before, let me assure you this really is the best way to explore London! My bike tours are always led by me, which means you get a personal touch from start to finish. Enjoy small groups, easy cycling, and an opportunity to see hidden London as well as the main sights.
Choose from the following tours:
Discover London Tour
Tour summary A fun, relaxed way to really experience London and see the parts other bike tours don’t reach! We visit many places off the main tourist maps as well as several of the city's famous sights including Big Ben, Downing Street, Horse Guards Parade & Buckingham Palace.
You’ll enjoy many of the usual sights, but you'll also be drawn deeper into the London story. Filled to the brim with fascinating facts and anecdotes to tell your friends, my Discover London Tour will entertain and inform you, whether you’re a first timer to the city, or a local who wants to see London from a different angle.
Together we will dive into the culture of the city, cycle along London’s most expensive (and politically-charged) street, peep into a hidden neighbourhood garden, discover the pub the locals want to keep quiet, and hop across the river for a pleasant ride through Battersea Park. The tour ends in Westminster, with its many imposing and important buildings, and a cycle up the Mall to see if her Majesty is at home.
Throw in a relaxed lunch stop and plenty of opportunity to take some amazing (and more unusual) photos and you have all the ingredients for a perfect London day out.
Old London Tour
Tour summary A great tour for locals as well as visitors, delve deep into the heart of the oldest part of London - The City. Weave among the skyscrapers of the international financial district; zigzag across the Thames and discover some pretty impressive facts and anecdotes to impress your friends.
A melting pot of old and new, this tour will give you a real taster of what London is all about. Hidden among the towering glass structures of London’s square mile, you will discover unusual buildings, medieval lanes and ancient alleyways that reveal the city’s history from the Romans through to the present day.
Exploring quiet back streets and crisscrossing the river to give you fantastic views of the City skyline, the tour will help you understand how the City of London established itself as a city within a city. We circle St Paul's Cathedral with its majestic dome, discover secret pocket parks and enjoy the contrast of 14th century Leadenhall Market with its glistening high-rise neighbours.
We stop for lunch across the river in Borough Market and throughout the tour there are ample opportunities to take photos with some stunning backdrops. All in all, a great way to spend a day.
