Street Furniture of London!

This route, thanks to the Fridays Cycling Club who devised it, takes us round Kensington, the West End and the City, to finish in Commercial Street. We begin at Baker Street Station - you can take your bike on the train on Sundays from Harrow or other points on the Met Line. We shall be looking at interesting, historic and quirky street furniture and hearing some of the stories behind it. The information for our tour is on https://www.fnrttc.org.uk/_files/ugd/88933a_62d665d6393148169a1d766c2b1a9a61.pdf - we shorten the ride to finish at the LHP Stop Valve Cover in Hooper Street. Most is off-road or on quiet streets, but around South Kensington it can get busy, so it isn't a beginner ride. It will be a sociable sightseeing tour taking much of the day and we will finish near Aldgate, from which you can either take the Met Line home or join us in https://xianbiangbiangnoodles.com for a meal or snack.
