Popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the Art Deco style had a major influence on design, most noticeably now in the buildings along our streets. As well as landmarks such as the University of London Senate House and the Savoy Hotel, we will also ride past some of the less-well known buildings that we tend to pass without a glance (e.g. Adelaide House, north side of London Bridge). Full list below. Eva leading, and probably also telling us a bit about some of the buildings. Unavoidably a route that includes some busy streets. 18km (11 miles). Probable route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1scrh46lqRcpTzmY7nUFet46RjBN7HqPA&usp=sharing

Despite the ending of Covid rules it is still important that we remain vigilant. For example maintain routinely a social distance, never less than 1m. Particularly important to maintain social distancing from other users on shared paths. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can feel safe. Obviously do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19 or have had a recent positive test.
