RIDE 2
Regent's Park Laps
Distance: 5km
Difficulty: Avoid rush hour, but otherwise easy
Time: 10–20 minutes
Regent’s Park is where Lycra-clad gladiators come to train. When it’s not rush hour, this place is a haven for cyclists, with countless clubs, groups and solo riders zooming around the 5km circuit. Whatever brings you here, whether you’re training for a triathlon or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery, the most important thing is to enjoy the ride. Not all of London is this bike friendly. We recommend starting at the London Zoo, a popular meeting spot for cyclists and lions, then head anti-clockwise.
How to follow the route
We recommend a free app called BikeGPX (no login required).
Once installed, follow the link below to access the route.
Alternatively you can download the gpx file and use it in a cycling app.
Ride with GPS and Strava are great but you will need a subscription.
You can also view the route on Google Maps (but this option cannot be used for point-to-point navigation).

Please cycle responsibly: always wear a helmet and remember to account for the distance of the journey. It’s also good to have the map downloaded, in case you lose signal while on the road.
