C1: North East London by Bike curated by Caro Communications

This year, Caro’s collection highlights places to see along C1: the 16.2 mile (26.2km) cycle route that connects the north eastern boroughs to the City of London. Starting at Freezy Water in Enfield, cyclists can pedal past White Hart Lane, through Tottenham, into Stoke Newington, Stamford Hill and De Beauvoir, concluding close to Liverpool Street Station. Explore the full C1 map here and a map of locations from the collection here.

The collection features artists’ studios, bold new housing typologies, a Tudor castle and one of the world’s first known collections of transgender artifacts. If you don’t fancy making the trip on two wheels, you can also use the Weaver Line.

Caro Communications is a leading PR and digital agency based in Clerkenwell: as cultural communications strategist, Caro provides support to Open House Festival throughout the year.
