Do you have a favourite/nightmare place to ride in London?

Agreed, Oxford street is only acceptable late at night when the traffic is manageable. It is the slowest road to cycle along that I have ever found, particularly heading East from marble Arch to Oxford Circus. Hell.

What do you like about it Harry?

Pinball.

Its the most exciting road in London. 20+mph through gaps of about 14" and the constant threat of ped, cops, traffic lights and U-turning cabs. Its well fun :). The insults make it even better. A race down it makes it EVEN better.

Leadenhall on the other hand. Shit surface. And I more or less have to go down it multiple times a day. borough high st must have the worst surface though, but I hardly use it.
