You can cycle from Holloway in north London to Primrose Hill entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.
The route is 4km long (2.5 miles) and makes use of Cycleway 50m the Camden Square LTN, Prince of Wales Road cycle lanes, and historic traffic measures in Primrose Hill.

Every main road you crossed in this video seemed to have a cycle lane running down it. This is good to see, and I hope it continues. LTNs and backstreets should be feeder routes for these main cycle lanes, and we shouldn't have to rely on backstreets alone. Great video, as usual!
Great video! It's so amazing that a 40min journey is now 15mins… Would be ace to see more circular routes established around inner and outer London to formally connect up all the radials 🙏🌿✨
I don't really know this area, but that looked very easy/nice ride (and I'm sure it wasn't in the past)
Neat route. Thank you.
Another great video. How did you manage a lovely day this winter – seems to have rained for the last 3 months. The architecture of the houses in this video was interesting. I also liked your comments re inclines; where I live what you call an incline I call flat. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent Britain goes back to 1880. Pity we can’t go back to having an Empire as well!
Great route! I do a similar one regularly. I find turning left on Harmood and crossing chalk farm road and using the protected lanes there an bit nicer (and not as much climbing!)
