the london edition hotel has teamed up with independent bicycle company tokyobike to offer custom-built edition bikes, with an exclusive series of ‘london bike maps’ created for the collaboration by experts in the fields of art, fashion, food and design.
tokyobike was inspired by its location; in the same way the mountain bike was designed for the mountains, tokyobike was designed for tokyo. now with the ‘edition’ model they have created the perfect ride to explore london.
