This year is the 21st Anniversary of the World Naked Bike Ride in London. WNBR London has taken place annually since 2004, with the exception of 2020 when the ride was cancelled due to the pandemic.
The London leg of the World Naked Bike Ride in 2025 rides from start points at Clapham Junction, Croydon, Deptford, Hackney Wick, Kew Bridge, Regents Park, Tower Hill and Wellington Arch. There is also an accessible option for riders who are less able to do the full ride. The routes merge into a spectacular 1,000+ rider peloton.
The ride is in the afternoon, following on from the festivities of the annual Trooping of the Colour in the morning.
Last year’s new start at the Thingy Café in Hackney Wick proved to be a great success and they will continue hosting the ride.
Organisers are delighted that Piehouse Co-op, the new tenants of our Deptford venue, have agreed to host the ride, so we can reinstate the popular Piehouse start.
There will again be no start at Hyde Park or Victoria Park. The Royal Parks continues to find no way to accommodate our peaceful campaign, despite it being part of their customary duties to do so at Hyde Park. Tower Hamlets claims there is a risk of violence in Victoria Park.

Some starts have the option to arrive early and socialise. Some are roadside with no opportunity to relax. “Gather” time is the earliest people can arrive. The finishing time is hard to predict given the likelihood of crowds, diversions and hold ups. We aim to complete the ride around 17:30 to 18:00. Onward rides will head for an afterparty venue, and back to Clapham Junction.
