Yuppers, direct and pretty much hill-less which I like. I did it today in 1Hr 20mins.
Yeah, Lower Lea in both directions, I like the views from the top over the Thames and over to the Dome plus it's a pretty direct way of linking Factory Road in Silvertown with CS3 at Saffron Ave. Proper rough bit of road by Dock Road that you get rumbling big Tipper lorries going down though unless you take the high road option.
I use your Lower Rd/Jamaica Rd route occasionally at the weekends if I'm heading up to dah-schmoke but TBH I like the quieter Woolwich Tunnel way up unless I've got hours spare in which case I go up via Dirtfud Tunnel and take a cruise all the way up through Rainham, Dagenham, Becton etc etc etc.
