  • This is the route I always did for London-Brighton overnighters:

    I've done it in the daytime a couple of times and found it good.

    Note that this goes through Gatwick Airport. If you don't know how to get through there, you should cross the railway line at Horley instead.

    There are some bits on busy-ish roads, e.g. Reigate Hill, but most of it (well, outside London) is fairly quiet.

    The 'route' you've linked to just goes down the A23. Fine if you want to do a spot of time-trialling, but not what I'd choose for a leisurely ride.

  • Thanks for the tips everyone. And especially Oliver for this:

    Exactly what I didn't want.

  • Ah, and I should have added that it leaves the A23 at Horley, but there are more pleasant ways of getting out of London.
