Did you take the Lower Lea crossing (green cycle path on the south pavement covered in crap) or the East India Dock Rd / A13 bridge (clean blue cycle path south pavement)?
The connection from there to the CS3 is pretty hard to see, there aren't really signs just the occasional blue square painted on the ground (round the bit with spice-named streets and manned barriers).
I don't mind Commercial Rd too much, been cycling it since the pre- fixie skidder days when I lived in Plaistow but it can get a bit pushy when the traffic's bad.
