I am technically a 9til5er (obviously that means i am expected to be a 9til6/7er) and got cross with the traffic. I am therefore now a 7.30til5er. The traffic in the evening if i leave the center (oxford street) around 5.30 is surprisingly good but leave anytime between 6 and 7.30/8 then it is rubbish. After 8 is also good but if i am leaving then i will be probably in a bad mood and tired so no training will happen anyway.
I ride along the old kent road. Central london bit from the office to Elephant and Castle can either be really rubbish or actually pretty swift but from there out to home is basically straight, not many lights and fast!
