Little London Climb

This short and gentle climb to Little London rises through a canopy of trees which give it a very nice atmosphere while providing cover from both sun and rain.The road through the village of Little London at the top offers traffic-calming measures, which means that drivers are normally a little more patient.Also, who'd want to go into London, when you can cycle to its Little sibling? ;-)

Coming up into Little London is good from both directions. And, of course, there's the Plough at the top of the hamlet/village (although the last time I went in, it struck me very much as a local's pub). The ride down Frog Lane is good too - narrow, single track ad a little mucky towards the bottom. If you come up Frog Lane from the opposite direction, it's a nice little tester of a climb. It's apparently only 5-6% but feels harder!

Nice way of getting to silchester, road surface wasn’t great if coming from the Bramley Road, but once you clear the first few houses and start the climb it starts to improve.
