This is a cycle tour visiting some unique public houses, experiencing some of the amazing history and architecture they have to offer. Starting and finishing at Paddington we will use the canal to pass london zoo, camden market, granery square, islington and the angel eventually coming out by the Thames at limehouse before making our way back via Borough market, blackfriars, temple, covent garden and marble arch.

the first half of the ride is towpath and quiet lanes on the second half we will be using cycle lanes as much as poss as well as side streets (some with traffic restrictions)
