A guide, bicycle, helmet and rain gear are included; food and drinks at the pub stop cost extra. 4.91 from 75 reviews at €82 per person for 4h. ## Overview This is a fascinating bike ride, free of traffic, with a maximum group size of 7 people, along a charming river with plenty of stops to admire some of South London's most beautiful parks, wildlife, waterwheels, a local market, cottages, churches and an ancient village that became part of London. You will also stop at a marvelous 17th century pub for lunch/refreshments. An enthusiastic local guide, who has been living in the area for over 20 years, will meet you at his hundred- year- old house and lead you along winding paths on this 4 hour/12 mile/20km long relaxed ride through a mesmerising part of London where once a church stood as big as Westminster Abbey and a King was crowned. Are you ready to enter a peaceful world of lush greens and serenity? Only a short distance away from the busy centre of London a different world is waiting for you. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet at my House which is a 1… - Max 7 people: small group - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 10:30: one departure a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Age 15+: minimum age is 15 ## Key facts - Price: from €82 per person - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.91/5 from 75 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 99% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: London Cycle Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## What's included - bicycle and helmet provided - light rain poncho (if needed) - local Guide - luggage and unneeded bags can be stored for free - waterproof trousers (if needed) ## Not included - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Food and drink ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-01 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We will meet at my House which is a 1 min walk from Colliers Wood underground Station.
