Although National Route 6 is still being developed this easy ride takes you along the traffic free towpath of the Grand Union Canal.
The ride has plenty to offer from great scenery to flat, child friendly riding. You will find many places along the route to eat, relax or just let the children stop and play.
Little Venice, where the the Grand Union Canal meets the Regent's Canal, is one of London's hidden treasures with charming architecture and resident narrowboats. Although please note that cycling is not permitted here so you will have to walk your bike for 5 minutes, no real hardship when you have such a scenic backdrop to take in!
