This page has information about the third year of London's participation in the World Naked Bike Ride. In 2004, there were 58 riders in Hyde Park, and in 2005 there were 250 riders in the central London streets. This year the ride returns to the streets of London (on a similar route to 2005) allowing riders to see the many sights of this remarkable city from the comfort of their own bikes/skates.

The London ride will meet at 3pm in central London on 10 June 2006. This will allow people to also take part in the Brighton & Hove morning ride, which will start at around 10am.

These pages have further information for riders, photographers and press/media.

Photography and filming policy

The London Ride has had the following photography/filming policy since 2005.

POLICY We welcome photography during the ride, but there are some restrictions.

  1. No photos are permitted BEFORE or AFTER the street ride EXCEPT in a designated photo area (where consenting riders can go to be photographed).
  2. During the street ride, no closeup photos of people are allowed without the person's consent.
  3. During the street ride, no photos of participants when they aren't riding/skating (except with the person's consent).
  4. Riders and supporters are actively encouraged to enforce these policies. Thank you!

This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders.

All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This INCLUDES any riders or press who take photos.

To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it may appear on signs at the ride assembly area or on leaflets distributed at the event.

If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that the there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride (eg- Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Street, US Embassy).

There has been some debate about the restrictiveness of this policy, to see this visit the following link [1]
