Hi all. I'm probably going to have to commute to a client on Hammersmith Embankment. Does anyone else do this? If so, can you share your route with me?


https://london.cyclestreets.net has calculated a likely-looking route for me, but real-life experience would be great.


Thanks in advance.

Did this route for years and there are limitless options but the quickest is up Dog kennel Hill and take the main road through Camberwell and on to Vauxhall Bridge, then along the Embankment and it doesn't particularly matter which right turn you take then up to Hammersmith. it will depend exactly where you need to go.

There are some lovely variations - including the 'four parks' route that takes in Dulwich park, Brockwell park, Battersea Park and Brmopton cemetery. Adds about 10 mins but lovely.

Whatever route you do it will be quicker than public transport.

Bit late to this but my fav route was (quiet and quite pleasant):


DKH

Ruskin Park

Loughborough Junction

Loughborough Road

Sidney Road

Kimberley Road

Union Road

Stewarts Road

Battersea Park

Albert Bridge

Kings Road

Hortensia Road

Brompton Cemetery

Lillie Road

North End Road

Star Road

There is a poorly signed bike route, Herne Hill to Clapham Common, then across the Common, head towards the river where you can find more quiet routes after Wandsworth, at Putney you can do the Thames Path, although a rough surface and during lockdown congested with joggers.


More of a leisure route. Any ideas of the cycle route numbet- it's not one of TfL's and not easy to find on Google. Shame.

That was the route id instinctively use. I've used the route to Clapham Common a few times, and from there its no distance to the river.

    • But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author! 
    • Do none of you people want anyone to experience joy anywhere near your houses? I've been a local resident for nearly 10 years, and I love that London feels vibrant and alive in the summer and there are festivals and young people enjoying themselves.    Think everyone here needs to take a chill pill 
    • Thread is on the Gala.  Some of you can't help but join in on everywhere else because it suits you.  Sad that some of you get such joy.  And one of you is using large font, it's akin to shouting.
    • Switzerland? I normally go to Rome.
