Arguably the best cycling London has to offer, the Surrey Hills are a local favourite thanks to their leafy roads and punchy summits.
Make a quick escape from Kingston, and follow the route south to Esher (quick coffee at G!RO) and Cobham before you're outside the M25 and descending into Shere. From there, you'll summit Pitch Hill & Leith Hill before looping to Newdigate for a cafe stop at Tanhouse Farm Shop.
Then it's back on the bike for a spin up Box Hill, and a tailwind all the way back to Richmond Park.
