You can cycle from Borough Market south of the river to Islington entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.
The route is 5.2km long (3.3 miles) and makes use of Cycleway 6, Cycleway 27, and the St Peters LTN.

Is the building at 1:05 where they filmed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? I know Bridget Jonesβs flat is around there and they probably film a lot in the area but the building looks very similar.
Can you please do a best route without mixing with traffic video from Edgware to London Bridge? Given that TFL will ban all e-bikes from their network from tomorrow.
Good route. The roadworks contraflow thing south of Holborn Viaduct has been added recently. When I cycled there last week it wasn't there and cyclists were just muddling through the roadworks.
Unbelieble "scars" left by contracters, shockin it still happens in this day and age.I blame people in charge, they let them get away with it.
Nice route!

We started watching Dune Prophecy last night. Loving it so far.
Hi, regarding the tarmac replacing the bricks, not just bikes did a video recently about the clinker brick roads in the netherlands. Supposedly much longer lasting than asphalt and after works can be replaced so it looks like nothing has happened. I do wonder why there are not more widely used in london like those bits in the video, probably a higher initial cost or something like that.
It is baffling how abruptly CS6 turns onto a side road as soon as it crosses council boundaries!
Especially considering Camden is normally pretty good at cycling infrastructure.
People filling in council consultation forms is key to getting better cycling routes. Google online for your borough's consultation website.
Got a sense of deja vu with the mention of New River and Myddleton Square, as I'd first encountered them in a Rob's London video a few days ago!
