Tour specifics 

The Classic Tour -  3.5 hours - 13.2 km

Discover the classic sights that light up the capital's skyline from Westminster to the City of London on the Classic Tour. One of the most popular bicycle tours of central London, your journey will start in Lambeth, central London where you will be equipped with a bike, safety gear and introduced to your expert tour guide. These city navigators will guide you through the backstreets and cycle paths, also covering ground that’s inaccessible to pedestrians. This ensures you a comprehensive view of iconic London sights and an insight into London life: from royalty at Buckingham Palace to street performers in Covent Garden. 

Daily 10.00: Dutch Tour

Daily 10.15: French, German, Spanish, Italian Tours

Daily 10.30: English Tour

The ♥Love London Tour - 3.5 hours - 12.6 km

Explore the city’s most theatrical and artistic side on a ♥Love London Tour. From Lambeth, you’ll head to Archbishop's Park; a secluded green area of tranquility and the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury since the 13th century. From one saddle to another, you’ll experience Horse Guards Parade, an historic sporting ground where Henry VIII once hosted jousting tournaments.  The tour will then proceed to Carnaby Street and Soho: the stomping ground of British bands like The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. As the tour draws to a close, you’ll soak in the atmosphere of the cobbled streets of Covent Garden; London’s Theatreland, and a lively area known for its high-quality restaurants and lively street performers. With a few more stops in between, you’ll finally make your way to your final stop in Lambeth. 

April - October, Daily 14.30: English & Dutch Tour

November - March, Daily 12.00: English Tour
