From the Strand to Farringdon/Greys Inn/Clerkenwell travel up over Aldwych across Kingsway take the first left into Houghton Street (LSE). Go to the end turn right into the alley with the chained up bikes and the follow it round to the left. This puts you out on Carey Street, turn right out of the alley and then follow the road to Chancery Lane. From here you can go straight up to High Holborn or turn right into Breams Buildings for New Fetter Lane. You’ve just avoided Kingsway and Holborn.
A quick and cool way, (with less traffic) from High Holborn/Shaftsbury Ave to Trafalgar Square is Down Monmouth Street and (Upper) St Martins Lane.
Avoid the mess turning left into Tottenham Court Road from Oxford by turning into Hanway Street instead.
Use the border cycle path of Hyde Park and then South Carriage Drive to get from Marble Arch to South Kensington
I know these routes/tips will be basic to some but share your knowledge people.
