I can very strongly recommend bikehub - both the website ( http://routes.bikehub.co.uk/ ) and the app. Excellent cycle routing with options for speed versus traffic density, user maintained by a strong community of cyclists via the openstreetmap data, and if you use the app you can use your phone GPS for voice based satnav (so you don't need to take your eyes off the road while you go).

Incidentally, this is my route : http://routes.bikehub.co.uk/journey/40629861/#fastest (I go the fastest out of the three options provided here)

Which I have slowly revised over time to give me a route largely devoid of traffic.

Several roads which are closed to cards, and through a park or two here and there.

Here's my route from this morning : http://www.strava.com/activities/138759957

Takes me 20-25 mins, so would just be another 5 over to holborn at the end.


Edit: I leave at 7am every morning from Friern Road and am more than happy to show you the route I take if you like. You should arrive before 8 even with the extra up to Holborn (I like time to shower and change at the office, get a coffee etc before my own 8:45am start). Feel free to drop me a message if you want to tag along.

This IS the redesigned junction - the so called South Roundabout.


Read about the dangerous proposals to redesgn the North roundabout here.....

I second Trinity Church Square and Great Suffolk Street. Trinity Church Square is particularly nice and there's sometimes something interesting going on there to break up the norm; a couple of days ago filming was going on for what I was told is the sequal to 28 days later.

    • Thank you @pugwash. I’ll check that out. 
    • We've lost our beautiful indoor cat who darted out of a window when we weren't looking. We are very worried about him in this extreme heat and with a thick fur coat. He is a big Siberian Forest cat with no street awareness, so please please share and please let us know if you see him. Thank you!
    • Yes, I have. We have gone fruit (seed/nut and mushroom) foraging in and out of London. I'll just recommend a couple of places I've found most rewarding. Wormwood Scrubs: you'll find blackberries, plums, sloes and apple trees. Holmewood (train journey, then either bike ride/cab to the top of the hill or a very long walk): bilberries galore! Be prepared to spend a few hours picking. It's a lovely area to explore and I am sure there are other wild fruits (I've only been twice due to the distance).
    • Had a green woodpecker visit our back garden this morning. Appeared to be eating ants or ant larvae.
