**The annual London to Brighton Cycle returned on Sunday 14 September 2025 and saw
over 5,000 cyclists make their way on the 55-mile ride from Clapham Common to Brighton
seafront.**

This year’s headline charity was Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity(
GOSH Charity). Over 90 other charities partnered on the event, including Cancer 
Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Mind, Alzheimer’s Society, Parkinson’s UK,
the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, Family Action, Joe’s Buddy Line, London’s Air 
Ambulance, Magic Breakfast, and Hackney Foodbank.

The route takes riders south from Clapham Common in south west London, winding through
the scenic Surrey and Sussex countryside before tackling the infamous climb up Ditchling
Beacon and descending to the finish line on Brighton’s seafront.
