Notting Hill and Hampstead Heath Cycle Ride

A while ago I did my first cycle ride across London, west to east. I promised myself I would do a south to north cycle ride one day and after some planning, eventually, here we are, a ride through Notting Hill and up to Hampstead Heath. The ride starts at Paddington Station in West London, riding along Baywater Road to Notting Hill Gate, then northwards down Portobello Road riding through the world famous antiques market street. The on-the-street market stalls are only there on certain days and not on the day that I cycled which made it much easier with many less tourists that would normally pack the street. I then headed east via over to Abbey Road, famous for the Beatles album cover released in 1970. From Abbey Road we make a slightly unplanned stop and then via Primrose Hill, one of the best locations to get a view of London City. Finally heading through Camden up to the huge wild woodland and meadow Hamsptead Heath to stop at Kenwood House for a drink and cake.Many areas on this cycle ride are world famous in their own right and also made popular as filming locations such as Notting Hill, Lady in the Van, Finding Your Feet, Hampstead and Bridget Jones’s Diary. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed cycling it.
