London is rich with parks and (believe it or not) quiet streets – it’s just about finding them among the hustle and bustle of the cars, buses and pedestrians.

Greenways are the safer way to journey to your destination as they take in parks, forests, and the quietest routes possible. They are also perfect for new riders to gain confidence and for families to take a day out with the kids.

The easiest way of finding a greenway is by ordering one of the London cycle guides from TFL.

Below are a couple of the suggested routes on the TFL website:
