London

A friendly and diverse North London road club founded in 2013, now over 900 members strong, with a primary road focus plus cyclocross, gravel and track riders. Saturday mornings are built around laps of Regent's Park's Outer Circle from the London Zoo entrance, split into a faster 7am training group and a more social 8am group, both finishing with a coffee. Sunday club rides head out from Highbury Fields in multiple groups of varying distance and speed, regrouping at hills and turn points, and the club runs twice-monthly intro and group-skills sessions for newcomers.

One of the UK's largest and most successful cycling and racing clubs, London Dynamo is the dominant club on the south-west side, based around Richmond Park. It advertises more club rides, route variety and coaching than any other London club. Saturday mornings centre on park laps from Pen Ponds Cafe - a faster, drop 'Saturday Park Ride' of roughly 26 miles (four laps) and a no-drop 'Dynamellow' of around 19.5 miles (three laps). Sunday rides head out to Windsor and the Thames Valley from the Coppernose Cafe at Hampton Court with multiple pace groups including a marshalled non-drop option, and there are midweek hills rides plus a fast Wednesday-evening Richmond Park session.

A friendly south-east London club known for its dashing blue kit and a 'we ride fast and we ride slow, on road and off' ethos. The Saturday Club Run leaves Herne Hill Velodrome and runs a roughly 56km route up to the top of the North Downs and back, with groups ranging from pacy to steady. Sunday rides depart from Cadence at Crystal Palace on different and longer routes each week at faster, intermediate and steady paces, all regrouping where necessary to keep everyone together. The club also runs a fast 'Dawn Raid', a Wednesday-evening chaingang for race training, winter velodrome sessions including women-only groups, and off-road rides from Crystal Palace.

A North London club built around explicitly no-drop rides - 'we won't leave anyone behind' - with a structured weekend programme out of East Finchley, Whetstone and Winchmore Hill into Hertfordshire, Essex and beyond. Saturdays offer an early ~60-mile 'Sparrows', a ~45-mile 13-15 mph 'Steady', and a ~60-mile 16-18 mph 'Faster' group; Sundays bring a ~60-mile 'Classic' plus an off-road option. Midweek the club runs Regent's Park sessions: race laps on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and more relaxed one-hour 'chat laps' plus coffee on Wednesdays and Fridays. Rides are coordinated through the Spond app, which lists the precise start, ride leader and downloadable route.
