Route Description
Beginning at the start pens, you will travel a clockwise loop across the Tower Bridge then into The Underground, which magically delivers you to the rolling “Richmond Park” area of Zwift’s London map.
Enjoy the open air as you ride this road in a direction not commonly taken in other London routes. Soon enough, you’ll be climbing up out of The Underground to cross the Thames once more and ride along its edge back toward the lap start/finish banner.
This route’s lap banner isn’t the typical London lap banner. Instead, it’s located at the start of the Tower Bridge. You’ll see an actual arch here in particular events, but you can also always see a white line on the road at this location.
