You can cycle from Islington in north London to Tottenham, entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.
The route is 11km long (6.8 miles) and makes use of the Liverpool Road protected cycle lanes, as well as quiet routes in low traffic neighbourhoods including Highbury, Bruce Grove, and St Anns.

Hi mate, out of interest what bike do you use?
Great route! The video quality is top notch. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry. 1080 60fps is unwatchable.
Finsbury park not advisable to go through at night it is dangerous π’
You quick route from hermitage road would have been la rose road direct route to west green road its a LTN neighbourhood
Another top video

Sounded like you said "left hook", very apt, drivers like that properly take you out, knock you out π±
@2:55, as you commented, it was a close one. Kudos to the cyclist, she had her druthers about her, and graciously signals @3:00. That's the kind of cyclist I like to follow, as the cyclist in front of you can often flag situations you're not yet aware of. Micro-seconds count.
She also had good physicalform as she cycled…but I digress…
I have no idea why I watched this one, 50% of it is my daily commute π
But then again, I would never have learnt where Wine Gums come from.
Okay! So, as an Arsenal fan. I get it. Spurs have a magnificent stadium. No need to rub it in.
Many of your Tottenham vids have ended around Spurs stadium, I am beginning to suspect that you might be a Spurs fan. π§
Ha ha.
Lovely to see LTNs continuing to open up new routes. Here's hoping for Green Lanes cycle lanes in the near future!
Well done on your research, impressive. Especially for the shout out for cycle lanes on green lanes!!
The Thames water works have disappeared!
I hate that mini roundabout on St Ann's Road. Coming from North Grove drivers seem completely unaware that there is an entrance to the roundabout there, and do not give way to cyclists.
I mean, they say CS1 is a cycle superhighway…
Great to see the LTNs are (funnily enough) a good idea people get used to.
lovely route! is this filmed recently? London looks so green still!
When I cycle along the C4 extension, in Greenwich, along Trafalgar/Woolwich road Iβm constantly having or keep an eye out for cars pulling out of the side roads or left hooking. Happened today.
Another great video, thank you. It would be good to see one using C27 from say Paddington towards Kings Cross/Angel Way. I've tried it before and got a bit confused at turns and what not and had to defer to my phone, so would be good to have a video showing this route.
Another great video would love to see a route from Tottenham to Waltham cross.
