Biking in London may seem daunting at first, but can be a very easy, convenient and healthy way of getting around the city. Below are some good places to equip yourself if you want to get a bike. Alternatively, you can use the Barclay’s Bike system, though it can beware of stations with no bikes or no spaces to park. Download the app to be able to check the stations around you and plan routes easily on the move. You can also take some free cycling lessons with the borough of Camden if you want a refresher on UK road rules or just want to build up some confidence before hitting the London roads.
