Discover a quirky view of Battersea, Leisure Ride to Battersea Power Station

Easy bike ride of about 16 miles. Great for any fitness level. Mostly paved surfaces. Suitable for all skill levels.

Meet from 9:50 am for a 10:00 am departure from Brook Green, beside the tennis courts. We will ride to Battersea via smaller quieter streets, at a slow leisurely pace, approximately 8-10 m/h. This ride is about 16 miles, mainly flat with some small hills.

A riverside view of Wandsworth and Battersea. This area has undergone a lot of change in recent times and we take a look at how it has been reshaped. We will ride through Hammersmith and Fulham, pass by Craven Cottage Stadium, Bishops Park and cross at Putney Bridge to continue cycling east, south of the river Thames. Along the route, we will see many quirky places and things. Have your cameras ready.

Ahead of the Battersea Power Station's grand opening on the 14th of October 2022, we will cycle around to discover why it's set to become one of London’s most exciting retail and leisure destinations. The culmination of our ride will be at the Sky Pool at Embassy Gardens. Can you spot people swimming?
