  • Apolz in advance if this isn't quite the right place to post this - I'm hoping to do a few early morning rides to Kent before work (i.e., out at 6-6.30, back by around 8.30) and need route advice....

    What would be the best way to get from Elmers End to Herne Hill around 8.30am?

    I typically ride back into town straight down Anerley Road (i.e., from the huge Tesco at Elmers to Cadence) at the weekend, and the traffic can be terrible even then. Would going through Beckenham and Penge be better?

  • Not really. It's all a bit cack until you get past West Wickham.

    Move out of Herne Hill

  • Yes, it would.

    If you turn right at the Elmers End roundabout, then go first left onto Clock House Road, that'll take you all the way up to Clock House, then turn left and head through Penge, up Crystal Palace Park Road, then down College Road back to HH. The traffic is there, but it's only really bad through the middle of Penge.
