Riverside Ramble: Chiswick, Mortlake, Barnes and Hammersmith

A leisurely ride exploring a beautiful part of the river, riding over the traffic-free Hammersmith Bridge, and visiting a distinctive café.

From Ealing Town Hall, we make our way down to Kew Bridge, crossing the Bridge and joining the riverside path to Mortlake. We leave the river briefly to ride on quiet roads through Mortlake and Barnes, before rejoining the river as far as Hammersmith Bridge. We will enjoy crossing this splendid Victorian bridge, currently closed to motor traffic, and then ride up to our refreshment stop at the enchanting Pekoe Mellow Tea House in Brackenbury Village. (They do serve coffee and soft drinks as well as a wide variety of teas!). Our return ride takes us through Ravenscourt Park and quiet roads up to Acton Park, then back to Ealing.
