After experimenting on several routes, I think the best way into the city is Get onto Camberwell Grove. Benhill Road. Across Burgess Park. Portland Street. Carry on right to the end where there is a new u-bend cobbled cycle path. Cross at the zebra crossing and follow the new cycle path to new Kent road. Cross new Kent road at the lights opposite Falmouth Rd. take Falmouth Road. Left onto harper road. Right onto brockham street, round trinity church sq, left onto trinity street. Great Suffolk street. Right onto Southwark bridge road. Cross river. Follow cycle path to guildhall

This used to happen on McNeil Road in Camberwell. This resulted in the council removing the recycling bins and replacing them with large boulders.

Interesting times for buses. I've pretty much given up using buses because they take too long and are very crowded at the times I want to use them. I'm sure they're slower than they used to be, probably because of Uber, Amazon Prime and population/economic growth. I now have a belt-drive bike which is very little maintenance and I'm sure e-scooters are going take off in the next couple of years. This essentially leaves buses for the elderly, disabled, ill, parents with small children and drinkers.

I would be surprised if the density of offices around the Blackfriars end of the city is anywhere near as high as the density of offices around the London Bridge end, particularly with all the new towers going up. So it doesn?t make sense to me to substitute one for the other, particularly when Thameslink already serves Blackfriars from South East London.

You could just order an Uber for them. Or offer to go and buy them a bottle of washing up liquid or whatever they?re after. If their collecting for charity, ask them for details of the website and give online Etc

Nice one. Thanks v much.

I assume this is verboten. Other than politely asking the person doing it, what measures can I take to discourage this happening again and filling everybody?s gardens with acrid smoke?

Thanks James Barber. How will they know where to put additional bike parking if there is no facility for people to report full bike racks? How much do you think it would cost to create a website where you can upload a photo of a full bike rack with a time and some GPS coordinates?

I suspect it is just an outlier, unless all the other classes show a similar imbalance.

What types of academic researcher would be interested in this? Medics, health economists, anthropologists, geographers... Fascinating I think.

Good calcs by njc97! 1 in 971 chance of 60 boys or more if picked at random and the population is 50/50. But I think a "fairer" test is what are the odds of >=60 children of the same sex. So 1 in 486.

Is there an online facility for highlighting inadequate bike parking in a particular area? Have been to several bits of central London recently where every bike rack was full.

If temperature is a problem, just buy a wetsuit.

Significant Virgin cable problems for the last fortnight in Camberwell too. Has been working fine for the last 24 hours.

Correction: You cross Upper Thames Street using dedicated cyclists' traffic lights. Then there's a short cycle track to Cannon Street.
