An evening ride to Belgravia to see their Christmas lights along streets and shops decorations. Front and rear bike lights are compulsory, and reflective clothing highly recommended. Although we cycle mainly through quiet roads and cycling lanes, you need to have some confidence in riding in normal traffic.
We cut through Hyde Park to reach Belgravia through Albert Gate. We will then see the lights in Motcomb Street, Elizabeth Street and Pimlico Road, stopping at Eccleston Yards for more lights and a coffee break.
On our way back to Roundwood Park, we will make a detour into Grosvenor Square to appreciate the stunning display of lit up white roses of the Ever After Garden (
www.royalmarsden.org/support-us/give/ever-after-garden). We aim to be back by 8pm.
