Battersea Power Station Light Festival

We visit the Light Festival 2024 at Battersea Power Station, where we will see stunning light installations, which are even more impressive in the dark - see more about the festival at https://batterseapowerstation.co.uk/events/light-festival-2024/. A set of fully charged front and rear lights is compulsory. This ride is only suitable to those who are confident in traffic, as we need to cycle in the dark which makes keeping together as a group a little more challenging. We go at a steady pace.

We set off via Kensington Gardens and South Kensington until we cross Albert Bridge which takes us to the North Carriage Drive at Battersea Park. We cross the park to the East side where we soon find ourselves at Battersea Power Station going along the river. We stop for a coffee (or more!) break at the shopping mall, so bring a sturdy lock to park your bike outside.

We carry on to Embassy Gardens to view the US Embassy, as well as the suspended glass swimming pool, Sky Pool. We make our way back via Vauxhall Bridge, Pimlico and Knightsbridge to Hyde Park, and Maida Vale until Roundwood Park. We aim to be back before 8.30pm.
