Lunch at the Yurt Cafe via Limehouse Basin

We cycle to the charming Yurt Café in Limehouse for lunch, circling around Limehouse Basin. We ride mostly along cycle lanes through Hyde Park, the Embankment, and the City, and some quiet roads in Whitechapel and Fitzrovia. This is suitable to those building confidence in traffic.

We start our ride cycling along C3 in Hyde Park, Westminster and the City. We start later than our usual to avoid the crowds watching the Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace.

We first reach the Yurt Café, a community ran shop serving locally sourced food. This will be our break for lunch. We then go further East to cycle around Limehouse Basin, with views of Canary Wharf at a distance, coming back along C6 through Spitalfields and Smithfield Markets. We aim to be back at Roundwood Park by 3.30pm.
