White City cycle route


Recommended Posts

Hello el-torcho, I cycle from ED to Earls Court each day. The route I take is thus:



Start at Crystal Palace Road, up Lordship Lane to the Plough, turn right at library down Eynella road, turn right at park, down Court Lane, right at traffic lights onto Dulwich Village, left onto village way and onto Half Moon lane.


Turn right at Brockwell Park / Herne Hill Junction, onto Dulwich Road and down to Brixton Water Lane, turn right on Effra Road, left at St Matthews church, cut through behind Brixton Town Hall and on to Acre Lane and Clapham Park Road to Clapham Common Tube station.


Turn onto The Pavement (road name not the sidewalk) follow Clapham Common North Side and take a sneaky right using the pedestrian Crossing onto Elspeth Road, down to Lavender hill.


Straight over at the lights onto Latchmere Road, down to Battersea Bridge Road and Battersea Bridge.


Left at end of the bridge onto Cheyne Walk, straight over at the lights onto Gunter Grove and then Finborough Road and left onto Lillie Road.


This takes me about 35 minutes but will of course depend on what bike you are riding and your fitness levels & speed.


I would estimate another 10-15 mins to White City but I've never been up there so could be way off with this.


Hope this helps.

hi el-torcho

i've just read your message-i cycle to barons court. if you cross vauxhall bridge you can get some speed up left along the embankment to cheyne walk up past earls court and left on talgarth road (pavement), right at the college up gliddon road, left at the end and then right at the lights opposite Latymers pub through brook green (queens head on your left, highly recommended), right at the end up to shepherds bush and then your there, almost. if i get a following wind, it takes me 35-40 mins

I've been cycling ED to SW6 for nearly 2 years and I used to take the route above as posted by oysterburger. IMHO, definitely quicker and much more enjoyable, pleasant, scenic, plus fewer idiot drivers, less bendy buses (none) if you go via Brixton and clapham common. I say, how about a road race? We shall depart from The Plough public house at midday sharp where the Queen herself shall drop the chequered flag.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
