Thames Loop Ride from Canada Water

Deal Porter SquareLondon, England
Saturday, Feb 21, 2026 from 10 am to 12:30 pm GMT
Overview

Easy-paced cycle ride using mostly quiet streets and off-road paths. Suitable for all types of cyclist. Everyone welcome.

A favourite short ride, this anti-clockwise loop follows the Thames on both banks. Lots of history and always something new to see. Easy 11 mile ride using DLR to cross river at Greenwich (travel pass or equivalent needed) and returning over London Bridge. Meet up at Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station and next to Canada Water Library. Route includes Russia Woodland, Deptford Historic Waterfront, Mudchute DLR, Shadwell Basin, Canal-side paths to St Katherines Dock. Coffee stop on return leg. No hills, mostly off road, cycle lanes or quiet streets. Simon K. leading. It will be possible to join the ride at Greenwich Station. Meet 10.25am outside the front of the station on Greenwich High Rd, near the Novotel (not by the DLR entrance). Please indicate on the registration form that you will be joining at Greenwich.
