It’s an efficient way to avoid congestion, reduce travel costs and build physical activity into your daily routine.
Regular cycling helps improve heart and lung fitness, strengthens muscles and can support overall wellbeing. For many journeys across Greenwich and surrounding areas, cycling can be quicker than driving during peak periods.
There are a wide range of destinations within a 30-minute cycle of InPost SEL, including:
- Greenwich town centre
- North Greenwich Station
- Woolwich Arsenal Station
- Greenwich Park
- The O2
- Canary Wharf (via the Thames Path and cycle routes)
Greenwich benefits from a growing network of cycle routes, including riverside paths and designated Cycleways connecting to central London and neighbouring boroughs.
If you are considering cycling to work, you may wish to explore your employer’s Cycle to Work scheme, which can help reduce the cost of purchasing a new bike and accessories through salary sacrifice. Local bike shops in the area can also assist with servicing, repairs and safety equipment.
Even cycling part of your journey — for example, to a station or transport hub — can make a meaningful difference to travel time, cost and environmental impact.
