Thanks Dicki, looks like a good route! Is it safe to cycle along the canal path with all the pedestrians that would be using it?
Part of the reasoning behind cycling is getting a bit fitter so I would be curious to know what kind of pace I could manage along the canal part of the route?
for a scenic route head for where the a10 crosses the canal ..... green lanes > newington green > southgate rd > canal or down the a10 to canal
get on the canal all the way down to the limehouse basin then you're 5 - 10 mins from canary wharf all along quiet roads and thames path
