About Santander Cycles
Santander Cycles is London’s bike-hire scheme, with thousands of bikes, including e-bikes, at docking stations across central London. Hire with the app or at a docking station terminal. The Royal Parks and the riverside are pleasant places to ride; on busy roads, use the cycle lanes. Charges depend on the type of bike and the length of hire; check current terms on the TfL website before you ride.
