London Bridge is going to be undergoing maintenance until October, which is my preferred river crossing for my commute between Surrey Quays and Barbican.
Anyone got any good alternative route recommendations?
I've tried using Southwark bridge the last 2 days, but it's annoying to get onto it (you have to approach from Marshalsea Road/Southwark Bridge Road, and then annoying on the north side (lots of waiting at lights to cross roads and shared use paths).
I imagine Tower Bridge is a mess because all the traffic that would usually take London Bridge is now taking that route. The Rotherhithe tunnel is deeply unappealing due to the smog and traffic at peak times.
Should I just sit in the queue on London bridge? Or just put up with Southwark bridge?
