FAQs

Forget crowded sightseeing tours and endless central London landmarks. Our adventures take you beyond the usual tourist trail and into London’s greener, wilder side — through royal parks, alongside the Thames and into landscapes where deer roam freely.

You’ll ride a quality electric bike, making hills and longer distances a breeze. We keep our groups small, with a maximum of six riders (four on Windsor), so the experience feels personal, relaxed and never crowded.

Every tour is led by a British Cycling Ride Leader who is first-aid trained and fully insured, with helmets and water included. And on our Windsor adventure, even the ferry crossings and train journey home are taken care of.

Less traffic, more nature. Smaller groups, bigger adventures.

Mostly riverside paths and park roads, linked by sections of road, with the guide leading throughout.

All our tours are for confident cyclists – you must be comfortable riding and handling a bike on paths and roads, so they’re not suitable for beginners. The e-bike helps with effort, not with balance or control. The Richmond Round Robin is our relaxed ride: most of the 20-mile route is flat and the e-bike gives you a boost on the hills. The Tudor Trail and London to Windsor are longer days, best for people who ride regularly. There’s a safety briefing before setting off. Minimum age 16, no upper age limit.

Yes – solo riders are welcome. On the Tudor Trail you can either book a place on a shared tour (£119), which runs once at least 2 riders are booked – if a second rider hasn’t booked by 24 hours before, you’ll get a full refund or can move to another tour – or book a private Solo 1-2-1 Adventure (£299), which always runs, just for you. Richmond has a private Solo 1-2-1 Adventure from £259, Tudor from £299, and Windsor from £444.

Every tour includes an e-bike, helmet and guide. Bottled water is included on every tour, but please bring a spare bottle or money to buy more. Food is not included. Lunch is an optional extra on Tudor and Windsor, for shared and private groups; it is not offered on Richmond. A private hour on the river (self-drive electric boat) is an optional extra on private Tudor Trail tours only, arranged by email after booking and priced per boat. Palace and castle entry is not included: we view them from outside and do not go inside. Windsor includes ferry crossings and the train home.

The Tudor and Windsor tours both include a lunch stop. You can add lunch for £15 per person, bring your own, or pick something up along the way.

There are toilet, refreshment and photo stops along the way. We ride at an unhurried pace.

Bring a waterproof jacket (it’s England), closed shoes, a small rucksack and sunscreen. Bottled water is included on every tour, but please bring a spare bottle or money to buy more. A correctly fitted cycling helmet must be worn whenever you’re riding. We provide one free of charge. If you’d rather not wear a helmet, you won’t be able to take part in the ride and a refund won’t normally be available.

The guide is a British Cycling-qualified Ride Leader and first-aid trained, we carry a first-aid kit, and we hold £5m public liability insurance.

Tours run in light rain and typical London weather, so dress for the forecast. If we decide conditions are unsafe (heavy rain, high winds, flooding, extreme heat or official warnings), we cancel and offer a new date or a full refund. If the tour goes ahead and a guest chooses not to come, the normal cancellation policy applies. Full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your tour. No refund within 24 hours or for no-shows.

Electric Boulevard, Circus Road West, Nine Elms, London SW11 8DD. We meet by the lifts on the upper level, next to the children’s playground, near Wagamama.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your start time for check-in and your safety briefing. We leave on time. Like a train, we can’t hold the whole group for one late passenger. If you haven’t arrived by the departure time, your place is forfeited and treated as a no-show, with no refund. Private groups: if there’s no booking straight after yours, we may be able to wait a little. Just email us if you’re running late.

If you have a heart condition or any other medical condition that could affect your ability to cycle safely, please email us before booking so we can check our insurance covers you.

• Stay behind the ride leader; don’t overtake.
• Use your bell only when needed.
• Stay at least 50 metres from the deer and never approach, feed or touch them, because they’re wild and protected.
• Follow the guide’s instructions.

Look out for wild red and fallow deer, woodpeckers, ring-necked parakeets, kestrels and Egyptian geese. Sightings are never guaranteed, because they’re wild.
