Battersea Power Station and Sky Pool

A ride to visit the area of Nine Elms where the new Battersea Power Station, US Embassy building and Sky Pool are. This ride is suitable for those who would like to try slightly busier junctions to build their confidence in normal traffic (although the majority of the route is through quiet roads).

We set off via Kensington Gardens and South Kensington until we cross Albert Bridge which takes us to the North Carriage Drive at Battersea Park. We go for a lap around the park till the East side where we soon find ourselves at Battersea Power Station going along the river. We stop here for a little while to enjoy the views and the shops.

We carry on a little ahead to our coffee break at Black Cab Coffee Co, and then to Embassy Gardens to view the US Embassy, as well as the suspended glass swimming pool, Sky Pool. We make our way back via Vauxhall Bridge, Pimlico and Knightsbridge to Hyde Park, and Maida Vale until Roundwood Park. We aim to be back at around 2pm.
