Ride Down Cycleway 3 to the Lives Less Ordinary Exhibition

This route begins at Baker Street Station and ends at Aldgate station. We ride through the quiet streets of Marylebone to Hyde Park, down the protected cycleway on Park Lane to Hyde Park Corner; then Cycleway 3 to Buckingham Palace, Parliament Square and along the Embankment to Temple. We need to walk up to the Middle Temple, where we can park our bikes. We'll then spend about an hour at the free Lives less Ordinary exhibition at Two Temple Place https://twotempleplace.org/events/lives-less-ordinary/ after which we'll have a drink in the Garden Cafe, a hidden gem which welcomes visitors. We continue along the Embankment to the Tower, and back through quiet streets to Aldgate station for the journey home. You can put your bike on the train after 9.30am. You'll need to lift it up and down stairs but people will help if needed. If coming from Harrow we'll take the 0930 from Pinner which calls at Harrow on the Hill at 0935. Unfortunately TfL has banned non-folding e-bikes on trains from 31 March.
