“London Uprising” Route Details (London)
Released as a route for Zwift Games 2025, London Uprising starts and ends with select climbs up Fox and Box Hills, respectively.
Here’s an interesting bit of Zwift trivia: this route is actually fully contained in the much longer London Pretzel, meaning many Zwifters will have completed the Strava segment several years before it became an official Zwift route.

Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This point-to-point route begins at the Tower Bridge near the London start pens, heading across the bridge and down into The Underground before hitting the first of two key climbs: Fox Hill.
Once you’ve finished that KOM segment you’ll descend Box Hill and head over to do a lap of the flat Classique loop, including a go at The Mall Sprint if you want to chase the green jersey.
Hang a right and pass Big Ben to begin retracing your steps in the final 5km of the route. You’ll ride through The Underground then head up Box Hill, which is the finishing climb for the route.
(Once you ride through the KOM banner at the top the route is complete, but any true cyclist will want to put in a few more pedal strokes and enjoy the descent that follows!)
