The Route: A Richmond Park Classic (approx. 24 miles)
Our route is crafted to provide a true London cycling experience, balancing cityscapes with the tranquility of a Royal Park. Starting from Somerset House, we'll embark on a journey through the heart of Westminster. The initial, conversational-paced leg of our ride will take us down the stately Pall Mall, with Buckingham Palace providing a stunning backdrop, before we head west past the famous Hyde Park.
Our destination is Richmond Park: Here, the 6.7-mile loop offers a beautiful, car-restricted environment, providing the perfect setting for our on-bike ideation exercises. The rolling terrain and scenic views are ideal for engaging in structured dialogues and creative brainstorming away from the city's hustle.
Our return journey offers a grand finale, following the River Thames back into the city, riding past world-famous landmarks.
