Battersea Explorer

On this ride we’ll pass many points of interest along the Thames, the Heliport, the London Peace Pagoda and the new Battersea Power Station development. On our return leg, we pass the American Embassy and the skypool.

This ride follows the Wandle Trail from Carshalton to Wandsworth. We will then turn onto the Thames Path to Battersea Park and then on to the power station redevelopment. Return via Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common to Earlsfield, the back along the Wandle Trail.

This is a mainly flat ride along quiet roads and cyclepaths. Mostly tarmac, with some hard packed gravel. Best for hybrid rather than road bikes.

Depending on the weather, we'll either stop at the cafe in Battersea Park or near the power station.

Please ensure your bike is in good working order, and that you bring a helmet, spare inner tube, drink, lock and wear sufficient layers.
