• Depending on where you are in London, there's a few options.

    For Epping Forest, there's bike hire at Go Further Cycling

    Another option for North Downs bike riding is at Nirvana Cycles

    Swinley Forest has bike hire too at Swinley Bike Hub

    Swinley would be the easiest for a first-timer to navigate, as there are marked trails to follow. Epping is more varied, but it helps if you have some idea where you're going. The North Downs/Surrey Hills offers the most in MTBing near London and is great for a couple of full days riding, without having to go over the same sections of trail. I'd recommend taking a map though, to make the most of it.
