Everything to know as hundreds will cycle across London NAKED tomorrow

A naked bike ride is being held tomorrow, with several meeting points scattered across London.

The World Naked Bike Ride in London has taken place annually since 2004, with the exception of 2020 when the ride was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Traditionally, the World Naked Bike Ride occurs on the second Saturday in June.

This year, it is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday June 8).

What you need to know

The infamous ride starts at points in Clapham Junction, Croydon, Hackney Wick, Kew Bridge, Regents Park, Tower Hill, and Wellington Arch.

There is also an accessible option for riders who are less able to do the full ride. The routes merge into a spectacular 1,000+ rider peloton.

No registration is required to participate in WNBR London, simply show up at the designated location with your bike at the right time.

There will be an after show party, located in Phantom Peak, Canada Street, SE16 7PJ from 6pm to 11pm.

The finishing time of the race is hard to predict given the likelihood of crowds, diversions and hold up, but it aims to complete the ride around 5.30pm to 6pm.

This year, World Naked Bike Ride London will be enjoying its biggest ever afterparty, hosted by Phantom Peak in Surrey Quays, near to Canada Water Station.

It is open to all fans of WNBR, Naked Cabaret, Phantom Peak, and everyone else (over 18).
