If you want to avoid the elephant roundabouts go through Hampton Street, Churchyard Row, Brook Drive and then onto Kennington Rd and from there up to Westminster Bridge. Well, that's the way I used to do it. Should only take about 20 mins from Elephant to Oxford Circus.

The only way really is to go round parlaiment square, up whitehall, up lower regents street and onto regents street and there you are.

It's not too bad because the roads are wide, you could faff around wiggling through covent garden and soho if you go over waterloo but I think that's more dangerous and much longer.

I agree with Asset - head Parliment Sq, Green park and up onto the bond street area, much easier. Also get on the Old Kent Road as quick as possible, its fast, lots of cyclist's and a big bus lane never had any problems. Head Past Imperial war museum, over lambeth bridge and into Parliment Square.

Both Asset and AllforNun are right. I used to go through Camberwell and hit the Vauxhall Bridge head-on, hang right and up past the Tate (Atterbury St, Marsham St, Broad Sanctuary) to Parliament Square - mainly because E&C isn't good with a hangover, and hangovers always follow the route most travelled. But I've just had a look at the 14km route that TfL's Journey Planner recommends, and it includes Vauxhall Bridge, which is a fairly good indication that the Lambeth Bridge route will be better. Happily, it includes no other streets that have been, or are likely to be, recommended.


After getting to Parliament Square, I prefer Horse Guards Road (past St James' Park) to Whitehall. If you've got a thing for bendy buses or bearskins, Whitehall's fun, but I prefer pelicans. Then right and through Admiralty Arch, turn sharpish left, along to Piccadilly Circus and up Regents' Street. Come to think of it, that bypasses Parliament Square (you turn left off Broad Sanctuary into what might be Little Sanctuary, nipping up past the Red Lion (?). It's a cobbly bit, and interesting when it rains.

    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
