September 29 @ 10:00 am

Share this page

Join us for a gently paced family ride to explore the streets and parks of Camden.

Cycle to School Week (23rd-27th September) encourages children and their families to choose cycling as a fun, healthy, and environmentally-friendly way to get to school.

We are celebrating the event with a fun and friendly ride around Camden. We’ll be trying out some of the routes you can use to cycle to school or activity clubs. The ride will be led and marshalled at junctions – it is suitable for all ages, but please note that children and vulnerable adults must be accompanied by an adult.

The full ride will be around 10 miles long, but we are also providing two shorter options. We will follow a figure of eight with two loops each starting and finishing at Talacre Gardens with lunch in between.

If you prefer a shorter ride, you can choose just one of the loops:

Loop A (~5 miles)
Meet at Talacre Gardens at 10am
via Gospel Oak, Parliament Hill Fields, Tufnell Park Playing Fields and Leighton Grove
We will need to dismount to cross Savernake Bridge to enter Hampstead Heath (unless you use your bike as a mobility aid)

 

Loop B (~5 miles)
Meet at Talacre Gardens at 12pm to join the picnic before starting loop B at 12:30pm
via Chalk Farm, Regent’s Park, Fitzrovia, St. Pancras and Royal College Street
We will need to dismount to cross the bridge over Regent’s canal and enter Regent’s Park on the north side at the Broad Walk (unless you use your bike as a mobility aid)

 

The ride will pass next to or close to the following schools: Rhyl Community Primary, La Petite Ecole Bilingue, Gospel Oak Primary, William Ellis, Parliament Hill, La Sainte Union Catholic School, Acland Burghley, Tufnell Park Primary, The Bridge School, Beacon High, Kentish Town C of E Primary, Torriano Primary, Camden School for Girls, St. Patrick’s Catholic Primary. Haverstock, Primrose Hill, Argyle Primary, Maria Fidelis, St. Mary & St. Pancras Primary, Edith Neville Primary, Richard Cobden Primary, Our Lady Primary, Hawley Primary.
