Participants in the 2019 Prudential RideLondon events raised £11.5m for charity.
The cycling festival saw over 100,000 riders take part in seven separate events in 2019 across the weekend of 3rd-4th August.
The event, which was developed by the Mayor of London, Transport for London and London & Partners, in partnership with Surrey County Council, has raised over £77m for charity over the first seven years of its existence.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “My congratulations go to everyone who helped raise this fantastic sum for charity at the 2019 edition of Prudential RideLondon. Their efforts will help some great causes make a real difference to people’s lives.”
Mike Wells, Group Chief Executive of Prudential, said: “I would like to thank all the riders who took part and helped make this another fantastic year for fund-raising. Prudential RideLondon is the world’s greatest festival of cycling, and to raise more than £77 million in seven years for good causes is an incredible achievement.”
The 2019 figures were announced as entries for the flagship 2020 London-Surrey 100 event closed. In 2020, the festival of events will take place across the weekend of the 15th-16th August.
