About this activity
We will start this Friday evening at our meeting point at 129 Bayswater Road, in front of Hotel Hilton by the cycle racks 5.30 pm.
The first stop on this cycle tour will be in the beautiful Kensington gardens to visit Kensington Palace, the place where Queen Victoria, the most powerful woman on earth in in the 19th century grew up. This was also the home for Princess Diana until her tragic death 1997. We follow the amazing Hyde Park to the next Palace on our route, the official residence of The Royal Family, Buckingham Palace. We hope to tell you some stories about the Palace that you will not find in a regular travel guide.
From here we cycle along our own favorite park St James Park to the most famous and important church in England, Westminster Abbey. If you like to hear about the coronations and Royal weddings this might be the highlight for you on our tour. If you prefer some good old execution and torture stories you better pay some attention at Parliament square when we visit nearby Palace of Westminster, and if not, why not have a selfie at Big Ben, London´s landmark number 1.
We take the chance to see the river Thames before we plunge into the hustle and bustle in Covent garden. Here we will walk through China town and Soho to see where the great musicians played and lived, enjoy the pulse from the bars and restaurants from the heart of entertainment.
Finally a stop at one of the worlds most famous places on earth, Piccadilly circus before we go back on our cycles to the meeting point which is also the end of the line.
