Have been doing this for a week now, settled on this route:

Seems to work quite well - The strand is rightly a nightmare due to dozy peds and taxi drivers. This cuts that out by going along embankment for a stretch which is fast, though a bit squashed in by tourist coaches. I cut through wellington arch and onto north carriage drive to cut out the busy hyde park junction then back onto kensington gore, I tried going through hyde park but it's fairly slow and this way I avoid the big roundabout at shepherds bush. It takes about 55 minutes door to door, But I'm not the fittest at the moment and I'm running fairly fat tyres for the winter, Hopefully I will be able to knock a bit of time off that.
