    🚲 A surprisingly easy way to cycle from Chelsea to Paddington



    You can cycle from Chelsea in west central London to Paddington, entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.

    The route is 4.4km long (2.7 miles) and makes use of Cycleway 3 and some relatively quiet backstreets.

      Great video, I'm glad you mentioned the ridiculous levels of traffic along West Carriage Drive because I've complained numerous times to the Royal Parks about it and they seem incredibly reluctant to do anything about it. With the success of the closure of South Carriage Drive, surely it's obvious that that many cars do not belong in a park. It really annoys me that the motorists through here all believe that they have a right to drive through the park, and then get annoyed by the levels of traffic. The Royal Parks need to do more to emphasise that they do not. I also think that there shouldn't be surface car parks in the middle of a park like Hyde Park, it shows how the Royal Parks don't really care about the environment or nature

      I don’t live in London or the UK for that matter, but I’m commenting anyway because I love the concept of this channel! Google bike directions are more than useless, and infrastructure in most cities is too patchy to navigate without local knowledge.

      I generally cycle Cadogan Sq on to Pont St & over at the lights then just an easier left. Ir i cycle up lower Sloane Street, swing around Sloane Square down towards Buckingham palace but left on Eaton sq and directly up to Harvey Nicks (toilets), the 🚲 entrance to Hyde park & the hilariously posh Waitrose on motcomb st where you can attach your bike to the railings out the front and im not worried about it being stolen! x

      Love your videos. I honestly think you should do bike tours for tourists as you tend to have interesting facts and history of the area as well as finding less intomidating routes.

      Of course, if you go just a bit west, onto Palace Green, there is no traffic at all right next to the park. Very pleasant. Also, sometimes you get lucky with lights: I went from Greenwich to Tower Bridge with nary a stop once.
