About the City of London Nocturne

The City of London Nocturne is held on a 1.3km closed-road circuit weaving through Cheapside and Bank, combining elite racing with community events, fun formats and a full festival atmosphere. Big screens, music and entertainment frame the racing across both days. The event is free to attend, with a limited number of hospitality tickets available at the finish line, and the elite races are broadcast live on TNT Sports and HBO Max.

The weekend splits into two distinct days.

Friday 12 June - City Criterium

12 PM to 7 PM

A charity pro-am team event that brings corporate teams onto a closed-road race circuit. City firms enter teams of four riders to compete in a relay format around Guildhall, combining team-building with the experience of pro-style racing.

Saturday 13 June - Nocturne

12 PM to 10 PM

A full day of bike racing across community activities, disability cycling, British Cycling-sanctioned amateur races, and fun formats including the Brompton Folding Bike Race, Penny Farthing Race and Voi Bike Challenge. The day builds to the UCI-calendar Elite Races under the lights, with fields drawing the leading British and international male and female pro riders.
