Drinking water is mapped at 6 points; the longest stretch without is 10.2 km (km 5.5–15.7).
Places are from OpenStreetMap within 60 m of the route (300 m for a landmark such as a château or museum), and climbs from the modelled profile. Nothing here is checked on the ground and opening hours are not known. A good place to stop has food and water or toilets together, nearest the middle of the ride.

Off unless you turn it on. When on, this page sends which rides you were shown, opened, compared and chose, so we can suggest better ones: no location, no account. What is sent
Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Times here are estimates at a sporty pace. Catalogue access does not mean a ride fits your ability or available time. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. In the royal parks and on Hampstead Heath, bikes may use the marked routes only. The Cycleway 3 track on Constitution Hill and the Mall can close for ceremonies and events: check closures around Buckingham Palace. The Regent’s Canal towpath is narrow and busy, and walkers have priority; at Camden Lock the ride leaves the towpath for the street. Richmond Park’s roads carry cars, and its gates close to cars at night. The Thames path near Hampton Court can flood at high spring tides: check the tide. Hampton Court Palace charges for entry, and Crystal Palace Park’s gates close in the evening.
