I used to ride that way to work.
Woolwich foot tunnel ->
factory road ->
North Woolwich road all by the DLR, (you can even go on a cycle path along there if you want but I would't bother it's never that busy.) ->
Left at big roundabout onto Lower lea crossing this is the only nasty bit but there is a cycle lane over this bridge too, I always just ride on the road here as again it's never that busy.
Once your over the river lea you can now just hit up the A13 / commercial road (faster) or or go though Docklands and onto Poplar High st -> Narrow street. (quieter but alot slower).
It's not a bad route the only bad is the lower Lea crossing which has the cycle lane anyway.
If your not confident try getting some cycle training, everyone that does seems to highly recommend it.
P.S I would not recommend the Thames path to actually get any where plus it would add a big distance as you have to ride round the bollock of London.
