BCQ 125 Ride from Baker Street to Globe Theatre

The is the next in the series finding answers to clues from British Cycle Quest, a fun activity run by Cycling UK: https://www.cyclinguk.org/british-cycle-quest The route takes us from Baker Street through Marylebone and Hyde Park, skirting the Serpentine. We pass through the quiet streets of Knightsbridge and Belgravia to cross the river at Lambeth Bridge. We then ride to the South of Waterloo station on cycle routes, to end up at Shakespeare's Globe and find the answers to the clue. Our coffee stop is Southwark Cathedral's cafe and then it's a quick ride over London Bridge and via Fenchurch Street to Aldgate Station from which you can take the Met Line back to Harrow, or continue riding independently. You can take your bike on the train at any time as it's a Bank Holiday, but please note that e-bikes are not allowed on the Underground. If you need help lifting your bike up and down stairs please message the ride leader.
