Table of road closures and timings

The ride starts at Clapham Common where riders will take the B237 past Wandsworth Common and then B229 - both of these roads will be closed. They then turn left onto an open road and cut through Tooting, right near Tooting Broadway station. After that, they take London Road down to Mitcham. From Mitcham, they take the A236 and A237 to Carshalton. In Carshalton, there are several closed roads for the riders.

From there, riders continue south via Park Hill, Beechers Avenue and Woodmanstern Road. Beyond there, they go through Chipstead where the road is closed most of the way. British Heart Foundation has provided a map of the route through South London.

Train travel restrictions

Rail operator Govia Thameslink (GTR) behind Southern, Thameslink, and Gatwick Express has confirmed travel restrictions will be in place at the weekend. GTR announced: “For the safety and comfort of all customers, there will be cycle restrictions in place on the weekend that the Ride takes place. These restrictions apply to all cyclists and not only those taking part in the event.”

Bikes will not be allowed on Southern, Thameslink, or Gatwick Express services south of London Blackfriars on Sunday, June 16 under the temporary restrictions. Passengers on services on Saturday, June 15 and Monday, June 17 may also experience delays because trains will only be able to only hold a certain number of bikes.

GTR added: “Bikes are usually allowed on our trains at off-peak times on weekdays and at weekends. However, when large cycling events are taking place with hundreds or thousands of participants, restrictions may be put in place. This is to avoid the walkways and vestibules on trains becoming blocked by the number of bikes.”
