I just found this out today by cycling it. You can now shoot straight through the section at Surrey Quays/Southwark Park making this route extremely quick and largely safe.

I don't like the crossover at Surrey Quays station OR that weird side road dip just before the McDonalds but all things considered this is a great route.

Apologies if this is off topic, I CBA to make London cycling

Thanks for this. I miss these kinds of posts from /r/londoncycling so nice to see it here.

Would there be an interest in a London Cycling community? I could look at setting one up.

I'd definitely join it, for sure. At the moment the fringe subs don't seem so necessary to me since there's not tons of posts to compete with, so as long as nobody is complaining that this is here then it's probably fine as is for now.

I’d join if so. I commute on a folding bicycle in London, and quite like the discussion topic.
