Should be about 28 miles each way.
! Are you going to be doing this every day? (Fwiw, whenever I've done this I've come off the river at Markfield park, headed down Seven Sisters Road all the way to Holloway, then turned south to pick up the river at Blackfriars. This is mostly due to my inability to learn a better route. Might be slightly nicer than the A10, though?)
Marron-
Not every day initially, basically I'm moving back to my parents to save money so maybe one day I can afford to buy a flat/house and not just piss my money away on rent.
Moved back there before between rentals and cycled in 3 days a week, although that was mostly when I was working around Old St and the London end of the journey was pretty straightforward. I think I'll start at 3 and try to up it to 5 days a week. The more time I spend riding, the less time I'll have to spend money on crap I don't need, I guess.
I know the SS/Holloway/Camden stretch from when I lived in Walthamstow and my recent experience of the embankment and blackfriars cycle lanes and the selfish bellends who use it have put me off it forever - total clusterfuck.
So I'm thinking seven sisters, camden, regents park might be a better way, once I hit London. Unless there's a better option? Also, what's the quickest way from regents park to victoria?

I'm moving back to Herts in a couple of weeks and will be aiming to continue commuting into Victoria. Should be about 28 miles each way. I've done it before, but it was before the Embankment CSH.
I think I'll be coming down through Broxbourne, Cheshunt etc and then down the old A10 through Tottenham etc. Am I best off heading towards Seven Sisters/Camden/Regents Park rather than heading straight down through the city and around Embankment? Any alternatives?
