You should wait for the other riders to arrive then prepare yourselves for the ride. You will be close to The Sidings, the redevelopment of the original Eurostar terminal. This new part of Waterloo Station has several bars and restaurants. There are also free accessible toilets in Waterloo station on the first floor. You can enter via the new entrance from The Sidings. This start is half a mile from the London Bicycle Tour Company bike hire shop.
Cycling and WNBR should be for everyone! There have always been a few participants with disabilities that limit their ability to ride, so we introduced a specific option to make it easier to join us. WNBR London’s accessible start provides an easier route for people with accessibility needs or restricted ability to keep up with the ride.
Join the ride as it goes past. Some marshals and friendly riders will join you until the rest and toilet break, where you will be in the midst of a big crowd of supporters while you are getting ready to go home. Try to join at the front of the ride so that you should complete the accessible route before the last riders arrive.
You will appreciate that we cannot guarantee your safety on the streets of London, so please only join this ride if you are confident of your ability to ride safely – you will be riding at your own risk.
Toilets
The new part of Waterloo Station is called The Sidings. There is accessible access from Leake St. Don’t go into the tunnel. Go left along the side of the station, past some commercial food and drink outlets, until you reach the doors to the station. Carry on in that direction inside to find the lift. Toilets are one level up on Floor 1. Floor 2 takes you to the ticket hall and platforms.
There are paid public toilets called the Jubiloos at the riverside, past the London Eye. It’s a 6 minute walk. One of the cubicles is open 24 hours a day and is wheelchair accessible.
This is a very popular tourist area, packed with families. You must be properly dressed. Please note that the route through Jubilee Gardens is a no cycling zone for the safety of tourists and other park visitors.
St Thomas’ Hospital state that the hospital facilities are for staff and patients who are on site for the purposes of accessing healthcare. Other visitors will be prevented from using the toilets by security staff.
Participation is free but please donate! The ride is made possible by volunteer helpers and generous donations from our participants. No one is paid for running WNBR London, but we do have some significant expenses like security, radio comms hire, road closure fees, website, insurance, printing, marshals’ ID, etc. It’s got to be worth a tenner or more!
