RP feels pretty safe for intervals, more so than Hillingdon.
The other place I've used is the towpath into Paddington. That is ok but you do have to pause in maybe every fifth one due to slower riders or peds. I've stayed off towpaths or any other shared use paths since COVID though. And towpaths further into London are way too busy at all times.

hippy
I don't trust myself to not do something dumb when I'm riding supra-threshold intervals. I don't want to be doing the Hillingdon short circuit, checking for riders coming, dodging peds that are always walking randomly all over it, etc. I just like that I can hold power on the turbo without distraction. I guess it would be easier with practice and knowing your roads better. I tried a couple of times outside and it wasn't too bad but I do like the controlled indoor environment a lot. Next year, if I'm doing 12hr again, I'll definitely want more time outside on the TT bike.
