Docklands - good place to ride?

Hi

I was thinking it would be a good place to ride as it would be quiete and i live in bermondsey so would be ideal. New to london though so I've never been there. Anyone know if its any good or any other places to ride in the area?

cheers

its great around canary wharf lots of smooth tarmac

sweet. will make a nice change to the craters in the roads around borough.

go south, outside of m25 it's better cycling out there.

The route from tower bridge to canary wharf is ace, by the canal and past the pirate ships. Also around the Royal Docks is good.

Check out The Grapes on Narrow street. Run by an ex playboy bunny. Great pub.

There are also some short stretches of pave along there parallel to the Thames pathway should you fancy a touch of Paris-Roubaix.

If you are in Bermondsey you could go to Greenwich via Deptford and stop off and look in at Witcomb's one of London's famed frame-builders. At Greenwich you can take the foot tunnel under the Thames and come up on the other side via a lovely old wood-panelled lift.

Once there you can go on to Canary Wharf/Docklands or go via the Limehouse Basin along the canal to Islington and beyond if you go back on to the road for a bit.

If that is a bit too tame then you can come off at plenty of places along the route such as Victoria Park; alternatively you can take the Lea Valley branch up towards Chingford which is less busy and more rural - we took in some of this last week on the vintage jersey run.

dammit go south i say!
